If you think $3500 USD is a rip, then you'll spontaneously combust once you see how much a Vermeer-style reproduction of this rare print costs.

Several hundred thousand, at one point; no idea how many remain, but they're extremely difficult to find.

Especially because they're newspapers, people use them and throw them , which are then recycled

What's the relevance of this paper to Bitcoin (other than the date it was printed)?

What's the Genesis Block comment referencing?

The headline of this newspaper was a message attached to the first block that was mined.
