Gift of newspapers can spark a life-long hobby…
April 8, 2013 by TimHughes · Leave a Comment
A recent piece on the web concerning the gift of a "stack of old newspapers" (see the hyperlink) to a grandson is a common story in our collecting world. A woman from Racine, Wisconsin, gave her grandson a box of historic newspapers, mostly World War II headline reports but including other events of the post-war era, collected by her husband. The photos show some nice banner headlines, several of the issues being the "Chicago Tribune" but including other titles from the Midwest.
Such finds, or gifts, are typically the catalyst for a new-found hobby. And newspapers from the last 60 or 70 years can be found for even the most modest of collecting budgets. Our website features major events of World War II, the Holocaust, the space race, baseball, Korean War, Vietnam War, Watergate--you name the event and it's likely among the 2600+ issues from this era found on our website. Many prices range from $20 to $40 while some more significant events or dramatic headlines achieve higher values, and would be among the best newspapers for any collection.
For the beginning collector, the 20th century is an excellent entree to the much bigger world of our hobby which can includes newspapers back to the 16th century. Large headlines or events remembered by elder relatives bring to life the events which were formative to the American experience of the last 70 years. See: Stack of Old Newspapers
ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER
May 28, 2012 by GuyHeilenman · Leave a Comment
The following is a guest post by blogger Chee Seng:
Newspaper-collecting ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER, is something of an oddity in the collectibles and antiques scene. That's because it's not the printing house – or the paper/ink – which makes a newspaper valuable to the collector, canada, mexico, india. Order ULTRAM from United States pharmacy, It is something more ephemeral. It’s the very words that are printed on those yellowing sheets (or not so yellowing for pre-1875 issues), australia, uk, us, usa, ULTRAM no rx, and how they connect to the unfolding story of the times. In other words, online buying ULTRAM, ULTRAM pictures, it is content, not the vessel, real brand ULTRAM online, ULTRAM steet value, that can elevate one newspaper above all others, in the eye of the collector, purchase ULTRAM online no prescription.
It's also true to say that, because that collection of news-stories, articles, pictures and adverts are a snapshot of the very essence of an historical epoch – its life-and-times, its mores and outlook – that collectors can be looking at the same newspaper with very different eyes, ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER. Fast shipping ULTRAM, Some want plenty of local interest, some are fixated on a great news story, ULTRAM photos, Get ULTRAM, some collect certain types of coverage religiously – and some are even looking for specific writers or illustrators.
But while no two-collectors are alike, ULTRAM long term, ULTRAM duration, you can split approaches to newspaper-collecting into two great camps. Those who are chasing after 'events', purchase ULTRAM, ULTRAM natural, and those who want to steep themselves in the 'atmosphere'. If you want to understand the sorts of newspapers you should be collecting, herbal ULTRAM, ULTRAM dose, you'd do well to try and understand the different viewpoints of these two camps. ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER, It's not just a philosophical point – chasing 'atmosphere' versus 'event' can help decide whether a paper is worth one dollar, or a hundred.
It's fair to say that 'event' collectors are hanging their collecting coats, get ULTRAM, My ULTRAM experience, first-and-foremost, from those real big hooks in the historical calendar, ULTRAM canada, mexico, india. Buy ULTRAM online no prescription, Those unforgettable and universal events that are remembered long after they have happened – and often very far from their point of origin. Good examples of these mega-events include the assassination of John F Kennedy or Abraham Lincoln, ULTRAM overnight, Taking ULTRAM, the landing on the Moon, or the sinking of the Lusitania, order ULTRAM from United States pharmacy. ULTRAM treatment, The reason these big events are so important is that, for many people, where can i order ULTRAM without prescription, Where can i buy cheapest ULTRAM online, who would otherwise not come close to buying a historic newspaper, they resonate a strong chord with them, online ULTRAM without a prescription. Having such a bold historical headline, framed and on the wall, is a way of displaying this strong emotional connection, ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER. ULTRAM coupon, And because so many people are seeking out these original 'event' newspapers, the pent-up demand drives up the value, ULTRAM pharmacy. Real brand ULTRAM online, And of course, much of the interest in collecting newspapers, ULTRAM without a prescription, Buy ULTRAM online cod, then, inevitably follows this money, australia, uk, us, usa. Indeed, many people are drawn into the hobby purely to see if if they can reap big rewards from the 'events' held in that stack of newspapers, found stored in the attic. There is nothing wrong with taking such a monetary-influenced path – after all, it sustains many collectible hobbies. ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER, But it would
be sad if your newspaper-collecting was restricted to only these mammoth events – which can be counted on fingers and toes for most countries.
This is where the second path of newspaper collecting may be found to be 'enriching', on a different level: collecting for 'atmosphere'. The starting point for the atmosphere collector is usually a personal interest in a particular era. Some people are drawn to the life-or-death drama of the World Wars – where even local news-stories are set against a backdrop of that wider struggle. Others are
find the moral contrasts of Prohibition-era America, for example, with its gangsters and raids and flighty fashions, irresistible.
Following this atmospheric path gives you a lot more scope to learn a little from history's lessons, ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER. However, this is not the history taught in the dry words of the history text books – but in the often vivid and colorful language of the local news-hack. You may also find nuggets of historical interest that other collectors may also find fascinating – and so another route to a higher-than-normal
valuation can open up.
For example, there was a particular buzz, recently, over 'frontier rags' – newspapers that rolled out across the frontier, as the West was opened up. Some of these papers had short printing runs, and even shorter lives, as towns boomed and bust. ULTRAM OVER THE COUNTER, That makes them pretty rare and exotic, and so a lively market grew up around these.
Of course its impossible to predict trends in atmospheric collecting such as these. Far better is to follow your instincts, and build a collection around what interests you. That way a labor of love will provide its own rewards, and any financial boon will come as a pleasant surprise. And that motto makes sense whichever path – event or atmosphere – your choice to take.

My collecting story… Graham Dukes…
November 15, 2010 by GuyHeilenman · Leave a Comment
I have been collecting newspapers longer than most fellow enthusiasts, beginning when I was at school in England in 1943. My father went into a small second-hand shop and noticed that the owner, who sold candlesticks, old dinner plates and suchlike, was wrapping up the items in copies of the London evening “Star” for 1818, that he was tearing out of a bound volume. There were about 150 papers left and my father, who was well aware of my budding historical interest, bought the whole volume for threepence (10c). From there I continued myself, often picking up items from shopkeepers who had no idea what they were. Nearly 70 years later, with several thousand items in store, (particularly London national papers, but also items from many other countries) some of my prize items, going back to the earlier sixteenth century, are still those that I found in the English back streets during my time as a schoolboy and later as a university student!

A four page promotional piece announcing the completion of a 30 year project titled: "History and Bibliography of American Newspapers 1690 - 1820", now commonly referred to simply as "Brigham", its creator, includes some statistical information which might be of interest.
Brigham notes that from 1690 to 1820, there were 2120 different newspapers published. Of this totals the six New England states had 447; the six middle Atlantic states from New York to Maryland had 1023; the ten Southern states from Virginia to Louisiana had 425; and the seven Western states had 225. The city which from the beginning to 1820 had the most newspaper was New York with 138, followed by Philadelphia with 107, and Boston with 73.
Also, the six largest collections of newspapers before 1820 are:
1)American Antiquarian Society with 1492 titles
2) Library of Congress with 936 titles
3) Harvard with 732 titles
4) New York Historical Society with 634 titles
5) New York Public Library with 480 titles
6) Wisconsin Historical Society with 415 titles
Hobby trivia: most used newspaper titles…
June 29, 2009 by TimHughes · 1 Comment
By far the most common of early titles were "Gazette" and then "Advertiser". Between 1704 and 1820 "Gazette" was used either by itself or as part of a newspaper title 488 times. This was closely followed by "Advertiser" with 440 times, showing the deference which publishers paid to their advertisers who made up the greater part of a newspaper's profit.
These two titles were followed by "Herald" with 115 times, "Journal" 114, "Intelligencer" 104, "Register" 86, "Republican" 77, "Chronicle" 75, "Patriot" 57, "Centinel" or "Sentinel" 56, and "Courier" 45.
Titles frequently used, but in lesser number, were "Eagle", "Mercury", "Messenger", "Monitor", "Museum", "Observer", "Post", "Recorder", "Repository", "Star" and "Times".
It is curious that "Times" was rarely used before 1820, and there is no mention whatever of "Tribune" or "Transcript", all somewhat common within newspaper titles today.
(The above is excerpted from the book "Journals and Journeymen" by Clarence Brigham)
