Newspaper Value?
I was struck the other day at the flea market when I young (and I think foolish) gentleman offered $500 trade/or cash (not sure) to an older, knowledgable card guy for some ratty 1913 Newspaper which may or may not have featured Babe Ruth in the inside pages--the newspaper was wrapped in some kind of sealed plastic sleeve in which the older guy apparently did not want to open up the pages to see if Ruth was in there... Sorry I can't offer more details as I caught the end of this transaction.
I guess my question really relates to the market value of old newspapers as my impression is that unless the newspaper is 19th c. or earlier, newspaper values are quite low (in comparison to cards). Could anyone help clarify for me values of old newspapers, particularly sports related ones? Is there a niche group of collectors for these? Obviously, you will need to generalize but any info. would be appreciated. Thanks! -Pat Last edited by mintacular; 10-09-2009 at 04:42 PM.
