Are old newspapers worth anything?

[MikeMike]

found a newspaper in pretty good condition from the Apollo 11 splash down, in 1969

found a newspaper in fair condition from 1946 with the headline "Nazis claim attack planes in flight"

and

found a newspaper from 1868 in mint condition...

any way to figure out if they are worth any money?

I'll give you $5 for the Apollo Splash Down paper.

Check out the prices for homes in the 1868 paper.

I did that once and it brought me to tears...

Frame it and sell it on eBay.

Yep, in '67 I bought my first home for 22.5k and it's in the 900K range now.

That's the worst appreciation I've ever heard of. From 22.5k to 900k since 1867.

Ebay has many of the noteable ones that you can check out to figure out their value

Duck and cover!

It's not worth much unless it's from a notable newspaper. Such as NYTimes.

Mines from the Seattle Times, think it worth something?

Yes, they're worth something. Depends on what it means to the buyer. Check out eBay and look at the old papers they're selling there. I personally thought about buying some old paper headlines that interested me; i was gonna frame them.
