* Best issue to have on this historic event ?
* Neil Armstrong's hometown newspaper


A great issue on this significant event as this newspaper is from Neil Armstrong's hometown. Typically issues of this date carried a headline "Man Walks On Moon" but this hometown newspaper personalized the report honoring their local hero with: "NEIL STEPS ON THE MOON" (see).
This is likely the only newspaper in the country with such a headline, and not being able to have a newspaper from where the event happened, this would be the next best thing.
The front page photo shows Neil's parents. The issue is complete in 10 pages, a pinkish stain near the upper right, light toning, generally nice. A very scarce issue given the limited press run from such a small town.
