Opening issue of The Gazette Montreal Expo 1967 - Unopened

By Newsboy, 17 May, 2018
Description

Hi, I'm just trying to find out if my father's old newspaper would be worth anyhting.
It's "The Gazette Montreal, Expo opening issue from 1967" my dad apparently ordered it to read up for a school project but it didn't arrive in time, as he lived in a small town (Gravenhurst ON)
He never got around to reading it but held onto it all these years so here it is, still wrapped up with my dad's 60's PO box number on it.
I don't know what market there is for classic newspapers, and im not sure where Canadian ones would fit into that. However, from what little history my 27 year old brain remembers, Expo 67' was a pretty big deal for Canada, and id imagine a old newspaper from the event might be a nice piece of Canadiana to the right person.
Maybe?...
My father and I aren't knowledgeable enough to know for sure but were really curious. So if anyone has any information at all or can point us in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.

Intersting find, but sadly no great value, I've seen comparable issues sell for under $25.00
