Selling old new papers

Good Morning Folks

As most (if not all) of you know, the News of The World has now been replaced by the Sun On Sunday.

I bought a copy of this very 1st edition, and was wondering that if I hang on to it for long enough ( a fair few years), and then try and sell it, would I get a good price for it?

What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your response.

    Seriously though, you might get a few quid, but I think you'd have to catch it at the right time, my copy of Princess Anne's wedding programme that I inherited from my gran was worth £20 a few years ago and has dipped to <£10 as the Royals aren't trendy at the moment. Keep an eye on "memorabilia" on eBay!

    Providing that everyone else doesn't have the same idea (so that by say 2050 there aren't 500K copies of 1st edition still around) and someone actually wants to buy one, then you may get lucky.

    But by 2050 hard copy papers may be a thing of the past, so 1st editions may be a sought after novelty.
