[EBAY AUCTION] The Times, October 31st 2008 Newspaper & Jan 3 2019 10 year

[frankbitcoin]

The Times newspaper, dated the original date of the Bitcoin whitepaper, October 31st, 2008.  While there's no mention of Bitcoin in the article, I still found it to be a neat collectible for Bitcoin lovers.  I have one and am auctioning the other on Ebay.  Includes box and certificate of authenticity

Starts at $.99, no reserve

I have NEVER heard of this item as a bitcoin collectible.  I'm guessing this will confuse some newbie into thinking it's highly sought after like the 01/03/09 Times.

Just thought it would be interesting to have a 'The Times" released on the same date that the original whitepaper was released, that's all.  Still a neat piece of history if you coincide that date with other artifacts.  But that's just my personal opinion.

I even have a Dallas Cowboys newspaper article from January 3rd, 2009.  Simply because that's the date The Times had the article.  No relevance, and it's not for sale.  But personally I like collecting things based on this.  

I don't think there's any confusion to be made.  The pictures show clearly it is not The Times from January 3rd, 2009

It's a free market but that smacks of preying on naivety a bit however it's a neat hook. I may auction the bed I was sleeping in on October 31st 2008 and see what happens. It has a Bitcoin pillow now.
