I have the afternoon edition of JFK printed by the beaumont enterprise in beaumont tx. If anyone is interested

I have an extra print from the Galveston Tribute November 22nd , 1963 extra edition sent out hours after the assassination... not been able to find anything like it on the internet. Have photos and plenty more after the 22nd from dallas to Houston chroncle... trying to find a collector interested

I have a few paper of JFK I'm trying to sell from 1963

Do I have to sell the whole newspaper? To make money? Thank you for your information

Hi Desiree - Thanks for the question. In the few instances where there is money to be made from these newspapers, collectors would almost always want a complete paper. While clippings are interesting, their value to collectors is almost nothing. 

Thanks, Brian, this one that's been laying on my desk for several years isn't going ANYwhere, believe you me.

Thanks to you, RM! I've not had the heart to toss the JFK papers on my desk,either.

Another thing I've noticed looking through historical newspapers, as opposed to magazines, is just how little was known on the day of the event. The weekly magazines have the luxury of a few days to better understand both the event and its context.

For example, we have both the newspaper of the first moon landing and the Life Magazine. The newspaper, in our case the Los Angeles Times, didn't report how the lunar module almost crashed. Life did a bit better.

Nice article, Brian.

Hi Bob - Thanks for the kind words and insights on historical newspapers. A great example of that phenomenon is the Columbine Extra the Denver Post did on the day of killings. The headline on that one suggested that as many as 24 people had died. Sometimes the news can be reported too fast.

I HAVE A 5¢ DAILY NEWS DATED SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1963 OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S ASSASSINATION, ALL INK OF WORDS AND PICTURES STILL INTACT. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IT'S VALUE...
