I couldn't resist putting Kobe's huge smile as first picture because that's how I wanted to remember him. He did cry that day but of Happiness. Incredible championship years by a well put together team coached by Phil Jackson and Tex Winter, inventor of the TRIANGLE OFFENSE. I bought this the day after each championship and the first thing I did was opened up the newspaper so it wont fold in half and create a crease. Second thing I did was lay it flat and covered inside an air seal compartment out of the sun. First time I take them out to take pictures in 18  years.  As you can see a straight newspapers with hardly to none middle crease and well kept. I've collected newspapers for the past 30 years and each one gets the special treatment. Again these are practically new as they went from factory to preservation. You dont find newspapers that have been kept unfolded their entire life. I will ship out unfolded as well.  Kobe gave us the memories and these can easily be framed and hung at office or man cave. Again newspapers in these conditions are very rare. Please look at pictures as they are actual and can assist you with your decision. Please email me with any questions. I only ship to the United States. Thanks for looking and we miss you kobe!!
