9/11 Newspaper

Own a Personal Memento of September 11, 2001 With a 9/11 Newspaper

Whether you knew someone who perished in the attack on the US during 9/11 or not, people worldwide were touched by that fateful day. There are 9/11 newspapers for sale if you want a personal reminder, memento, or to educate younger generations about the event that changed US history. eBay is the most convenient place to find September 11 newspapers at reasonable prices.

At nearly 20 years old, many of these newspapers will show some wear like yellowing of paper or fraying edges. However, many of them have been preserved very well with lamination or within plastic pouches. Some of these newspapers, the majority of which are from 09/12/01, have been kept in storage and have not even been read.

There are a variety of newspapers from cities across the US, including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas City, and Dallas. The majority of the collectible newspapers were published on September 12, 2001, but you will find many different papers printed the entire week after. There are also one- and ten-year anniversary editions. A few of the newspapers you will find include:

• Star Ledger (New Jersey)
• The Washington Post
• The Wall Street Journal
• The Oregonian
• Chicago Tribune

Since these papers were mostly printed within the first week after the tragic event happened, they have many articles detailing the confusion and despair most Americans felt at the time. Some articles estimated that 10,000 people were feared dead, while other articles focused on rescue efforts of the heroic first responders. While the majority of the newspapers show large pictures of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers burning after the planes hit, others focused on the fire at the Pentagon and the efforts of the citizens aboard Flight 93. Some of the newspapers that were published well after that day have the names of all who were lost printed on their pages.

Some listings include more than one newspaper from the weeks following September 11, 2001, and others are single date newspapers. Single newspapers run around $20 each, while multiple 9/11 newspapers can cost upwards of $50. Special edition newspapers and papers with victims' names printed often sell for even more money. It is difficult to put a dollar amount upon a token of such a tragic event, but you will find the most affordable prices on eBay.
