Title: WTS (help w FMV): The Times Jan 3, 2009 Newspaper
Post by: thetimesseller on December 31, 2019, 10:33:47 PM
I own a full set of the London Times January 3, 2009 Newspaper (including inserts). Very good condition. I'm hoping this community can help me get a sense for value in BTC. I see years ago they sold for ~10 but there hasn't been one sold afaik in a while. The website: https://www.thetimes03jan2009.com/lists a number for substantially more money in USD, but those are asking prices, not precedents for a sale.

Wondering if anyone here has realistic ideas what I should be asking. Any advice appreciated.

I would say realistically you probably could get between 2-3 bitcoin.  $15k usd.  It's a slow collectables market right now.  Maybe upon the next massive bull you could get more usd but then the btc amount would stay the same or go down.  Just my 2 satoshis on the grail paper

The last one sold in the middle of May for 7.5BTC.  Here is the link:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5134423.msg51079377#msg51079377

Bitcoin was ~7-8k during that time.... similar to now, however at that time collectibles was booming unlike now.  I'm guessing an auction might fetch you around 5BTC.  Just my 2 Satoshis based on the data available and trends in the market.  No matter what, great piece and good luck with your sale!
