If anything I would have it authenticated by the times company itself to confirm it is genuine.

I'm sure the Times have better things to do be doing with their time.

I guess it's conceivable there are fake ones. You'd have to have an original as there's no way all of the content is online.

If it really is possible these may become impossible to trust as there's no real way of telling what's original and what isn't.

"Fake News" ? ... Wink

If someone have the time to make a fake newspaper from 2009 they deserve my 10$

Janemil...people are asking thousands of dollars for one...so people will do anything to make a quick buck.

Another one allegedly https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sell-original-times-newspaper-from-3-january-2009-genesis-block-newspaper-4709439

I also wonder how hard it would be to fake one of these.

I would be very wary when it comes to getting one especially from an untrusted source.

I would second Krog's opinion on having authentication done.

There are a bunch of people that would. I know I was looking for one in 2015 or 2016 and nothing. All the sites, known resellers all out. And the people that own them here are not selling them. With that said I'd be interested in one myself if someone has one...

I would pay well for a pristine copy..

I may be able to get access to a physical copy, but how much should it be sold for?

I can see another unearthed one attracting some ridiculous kite flying price wise. I can also see someone coughing up for it. They ain't making any more and BTC is getting more significant every day.

That's impressively bonkers.

I remember sniffing around the usual newspaper sites years ago and it was pretty much the only day not available. Even then I was surprised that something relatively obscure at the time was all gobbled up.

The Times should reprint on the sly.

I also contacted a number of these newspaper hoarders back in 2014 and all of them said they wished they had more copies or asked for more because they had gotten many requests. I message Jonny and he told me he'd sell me one for 2 btc around the 1K/btc time, too rich for my blood sadly. But hey I also turned down 1btc cassascuis coins for $50 because I didn't know what btc was at that point. So fuck I suppose.

Just wanted to necro this thread to announce that http://www.thetimes03jan2009.com/ is linking to it and claiming we all have copies of the paper for sale, with absurd, false asking prices attached to our usernames. OP may wish to remove

I believe that site has been up for a while. I remember seeing it about a year ago and thinking the prices were absurd. If they are using your usernames without permission, it may be best to post a thread stating this, to cover yourself in the scenario that this fraud ends up being a successful scam.
