Lincoln Assassination Newspapers

[maharba]

At junk sales and auctions and throwaways probably we've all come across old scrapbooks, papers, memorials, etc. I still see a lot of old Kennedy assassination junk say in a box for a dollar: Life magazines, local newspapers. I've seen Garfield and McKinley and several for Lincoln. Probably threw them out or put them as a pile back into the same old wrapper and a yard sale. I always get the opinion (say as the 911 event) that there must be millions of these out there, can't be worth a dime. You don't see those old turn of the century scrapbooks much now, but I liked the old greeting cards and victorian items they'd put in there, too. And you would see four leaf clovers, pressed flowers, even locks of hair in those scrapbooks. You wonder how many of those older papers may be still be behind the walls or under the linoleum in older houses, yet?
