October’s Discounted Newspapers – a set which includes a naturalization document from 1810, a review of the new work ‘Death of a Salesman’, Michael Jordan wins the NBA 1987 slam dunk contest (w/ photo), the “God is Dead” debate, President Garfield is shot, Italy surrenders unconditionally (WWII), the execution of John Dillinger’s fellow gangster, the first airplane death (a passenger with Orville Wright), and more.

ALERT – Hidden Treasures Await!

As we often share on our History’s Newsstand blog, one of the great joys of collecting rare newspapers is discovering “golden nuggets” of history hidden within the pages. Many collectors buy an issue for one reason, only to find additional remarkable content that wasn’t listed in the description.

Despite our best efforts, it’s impossible to read every line of every issue we offer—and that’s part of the adventure! Recently, with help from AI and reacquired titles, we’ve uncovered reports so significant that some issues once sold for under $25 are actually worth thousands.

Case in point: the London Chronicle, October 7, 1773. We sold this issue in the past (perhaps as many as three times) as either part of an inexpensive set or as a “generic” stand alone “period” item from the 1700’s – only to recently learn it contained a rare article containing one of Phillis Wheatley’s 1st poems. Ouch for us; awesome for a few collectors (assuming they’ve discovered what we missed). This and similar “misses” are not uncommon in this hobby/collectible.

So when your next newspaper arrives, take time to explore every page. You never know what hidden treasure(s) might be waiting for you!

PS You may also want to revisit the issues you already have. 🙂

It may be viewed at: The Chicago Staleys vs. the Akron Pros. Additionally, the report is in a Chicago Newspaper!
