Yep, I've only seen 2. This one and yes one that was in better shape, but that one too had some minor issues went for a grand in 2011 at Heritage.

I'm surprised more have not popped up, but they just don't for whatever reason.


Here's my other one:

I'm from a family of newspaper photographers, so I love old newspapers!

I think it logically follows that after the rise in popularity of type 1 photos, old newspapers should also go up in value. There is, I think, an artistic quality to the layout of a front page.

I love the old newspapers, and they fit perfectly into my Boston collection as great period pieces. Here are a few of mine with nice Boston headlines, plus a Boston paper with a Black Sox story and a couple of Titanic headlines as well...

Wow!!!! All truly awesome pieces.

Given the scarcity of these old papers...since most were thrown away, I ageee that there should absolutely be a market value. They are fascinating and make really great displays.

Keep um coming.

The Babe Signs 1 year contract for $75K - March 16, 1932. At the time Ruth was the highest paid player in the history of baseball. Also, his salary was the same as the president of the U.S. whose salary was also $75K. Ruth actually took a $5K cut from his asking salary of $80K. It was estimated at the time that Ruth had been paid more than $750K as a baseball player.
