An exciting and historic piece of sports journalism. This newspaper captures a specific, dramatic moment of the hometown 1996 Atlanta Olympics, making it a tangible connection to a major global event.

Author summary:
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) is the only major daily newspaper in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Formed in 1982 from the merger of two older papers, it has a long history of covering Georgia news and was the primary source of local coverage for the 1996 Games.

The collectible value is moderate. Rarity: Many were printed, but far fewer were saved in good condition. Historical Interest: Extremely high. Newspapers from a major, historic event like a hometown Olympics are sought after by sports fans, historians, and collectors of ephemera.
