Identifying newspaper reprints… a collector’s story…

[1]We recently received an e-mail from a collector who informed us that she had used information from the Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers [2] website which enable her to identify (unfortunately) that an issue she had obtained (Baltimore Patriot & Weekly Advertiser, September 20, 1814) was a reprint.  While disappointed, she decided to post her experience on the web to help educate (and protect) others.  Rather than us tell her story, please allow her to share her experience in her own words:  OH MY GOSH…I FOUND A REAL TREASURE!
