In a moment, yesterday's lines and waits to vote are a mere memory as people struggle to get copies of today's post-election newspapers as keepsakes. We're hearing that many newsstands are sold out!
NYC the Blog's Paolo Mastrangelo tells us:
The news stand on the corner of 145th and St. Nicholas, which consists of a gentleman who sets up two tables every morning to sell the newspapers, has been sold out since 5:45 am. He sets up at 5:30am and has all the daily newspapers, including Spanish language dailies, the Financial Times, and a smattering of other local newspapers such as the Amsterdam News. He informed me that he sold out of just about everything.Which makes us wonder: Are the local papers going back to the presses to run off additional copies? At any rate, the news magazines will be putting out special election issues.

Five newsstands in Inwood and Brooklyn Heights, and all I could find were copies of The Post.
Our children will remember this day with pride. All of our children, regardless of race, will remember this day with pride.
*in creepy little girl voice* And how can this beeee? Cause he is the KWIZATS HADERACH!!!!
My Canal Street newsstand ran out of the Times. So... ugh... I had to buy the Journal. On my way home I'm gonna buy a chinese paper and decipher what they're saying.
Same is true in Midtown, mrguy. The only thing you can find at the newsstands is the Post.
Too bad all forms of bigotry haven't fallen. I'm looking at you California.
MT, you should also add to that list Arizona and Arkansas.
And Arizona.
And Florida.
And Arkansas. Thanks, Dirk.
You know, I'm still pretty amazed by all this. I remember telling my friend about the Democratic National Convention in 2004, saying "Boy, you should've heard this new guy, Obama. Watch out for him in 2012."
Glad to see I was late on that predictioon.
No newspaper but I'm watching the View.
Hording keepsakes that will certainly be worth something down the road, and on ebay.
back to capitalism usa.
Can't buy a Times anywhere in the East Village - a coworker of mine called the Times office and they laughed at him and said "we don't even have enough copies for our staff!"
I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but these kind of "keepsakes" are rarely worth much, because EVERYBODY saved one. Hence, no rarity. September 11th papers are worth more than September 12th. Go figure.
Sincere congrats to Obama. He has a tough job ahead. May our problems all be magically solved now.
There was a cease-fire in Harlem last night. Hugs and tears were up 40%. Rival gangs embraced and fist pounded.
NYCSniper: Not to mention that the circulation #'s on newspapers is generally very high. It's still a good keepsake, I suppose.
Hey JacqueMehoff, did Hasselbeck's head explode a la Scanners?
#17, we can only hope...
At my local newsstand there were only one or two copies of the Times, News, WSJ and spanish newspapers but a whole stack of Posts.
Maybe these people actually want to KEEP their keepsakes and not sell them in 20 years and, therefore, don't care if they're worth anything?
hasselbeck was quite gracious. mentioned her daughter asking who's Obama and she stated that's our president. asked who lost and hasselbeck said no one lost, we all won.
You mean to tell me people acquire keepsakes solely for their sentimental value and not to resell on Ebay?!?!?!?!?!! ZOMG!!!!!!!
#21- that didn't really happen. the gop wrote that for her to say and she rehearsed it all day yesterday to be sure.
I can believe that because if her daughter didn't know who Obama was, that daughter must be really sheltered. even my nephew was saying Eff you Mccain whenever he's on the tube.
With the Internet you don't even need to buy the paper and keep it. I used to keep the newspapers, but then it's like you put it away and never see it again. Even if you want to keep it better make sure it's in a air shut bag or else the paper turns yellow and starts to smell.
I bet some copies of the newspapers will be selling on ebay.
ppl at the newstand referenced above have noted that they heard the newspapers are sending out another run. as well, you can always hit ebay, obvs they are already being made available there.
And lastly, you can contact the newspapers directly and they will send you a copy for cover price. The FT did that for me once when I needed a few copies and I only paid cover price, no shipping.
Yes We Did!
Am I the only one that thinks news media should put more pictures of peoples of all races celebrating, not only african-americans?
I mean this is a big breakthrough for all races, I think. And the fact that people from all different backgrounds support this man IS the real cause for celebration.
Even overseas, people are celebrating because it's a sign of a different mentality.
What's wrong with the Post's coverage! I don't need a wrap around special feature to know who won last night. A real collector's item will be the day after Election Day 2012 edition of the NYPost with Presdient Sarah Palin on the cover, better reserve your copies today folks!
UWS sold out! Completely.
except for the odd Post blowing with the trash.
We all did it, this victory could not happen without the people being united.
well finally young black youth will have a proper role model rather than hip hop and nba douchebags who could care less about them
Now Obama says he's gonna need another 4 years before the "change" happens. Oh well! At least Wall Street will be healthy now. What's that? No? Well, surely, the world is less aggressive and loves us now? Oh, not that either? Sigh.....

Wake me up when the world respects us again.
SAVE THOSE NEWSPAPERS -- in 20 years it'll all be worth something!
I went to 5 stands between Rock Center and 53rd, no Times anywhere!
Damn, I should have bought some. People are already selling them on ebay for good money.
