    I collected historical newspapers for a while. Still have many of them to include the Kennedy Assassination, The Apollo Moon Landing, December 7th 1941, VE Day, VJ Day, 6/25/1950 (start of Korean War), Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, 9/11, I don't remember them all, but keep ahold of them as they do increase in value as long as they are kept in decent shape.

    That's way cool. I work in the Air Force Historical Research Agency where we have countless such documents in storage but much cooler to own it for yourself.
