As a professional personal property appraiser (ISA accredited) I recommend not saving the newspapers. Consider that a mint condition 1865 paper with Lincoln's assasination on the headline is today worth maybe $100.

Wow..I would have thought something like that would have been more.

What about old Life/Look magazines? From around the time of the Vietnam war. And not in mint condition. Not bad, just yellowed and the edges nibbled on.

And a mint condition April 15, 1865 New York Herald is more than likely a fake, as well as the Times and a few others.
