First off, I live in Germany, thats important I guess.
So yeah, an old guy died in the house that I live in and my landlord is cleaning out the house. My wife and I checked the mail and went to recycle the junk mail and WHOA, the entire paper recycling bin was full with WWII newspapers.
Anyhow .. we looked through some of the papers on top and they all had dates like 1939, 1940 etc etc, seemingly in order. Id say there is about 25-30 gallons of perfectly stacked 70 year old newspapers in the bin. They have covers and pictures like the following.
Are they worth anything? Im pretty sure they are illegal to sell in Germany. But yeah .. they might be worth something somewhere else.
