Makes you wonder how many people were packing their house up on that date to move or packing any items to move and that paper ended up getting wrapped up with some fine China or something like that to protect it from breaking. Lol there must be hoarders who have copies sitting around their house and they never even know it’s true value..
Absolutely, there will be more than a couple these sitting in peoples attics used as wrapping paper, propping up tables and lining out boxes, that’s just a safe assumption to make. Will they be in a bad shape? Of course, but is there more existing than the couple we know of? Guaranteed
I wouldnt say there are many left in perfect condition or other than wrapping paper,
thats the nature of newsprint, they are really designed for a day or couple of days and
a newer one is out then.
Regarding the OP's copy, its kind of a pity that it was on display and that the front page
got discoloured, UV light is the no.1 enemy of newsprint.
GLWS though for the OP, these are true gems
I have the one in display framed, but I want to sell another which has not been exposed to any light. This is why I've written in the original post that if someone interested ask for high res pictures, as I don't want to remove the other one from its protective case without good reason.
Also, even the one which is framed is not discoloured significantly, what makes the picture more yellowish is the lightning.
