NEW YORK (AP) -- Newsstands from Seattle to New York quickly sold out of Wednesday's papers declaring Barack Obama the nation's first black president as some jubilant customers picked up two, three or even 30 copies as keepsakes.
The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune in Obama's hometown were among papers that restarted their printing presses to produce hundreds of thousands of additional copies across the country.
Entrepreneurs were seeking as much as $600 for the Times on eBay Wednesday.

A small disclosure: I have somewhat the same sense of humor as the male species and I do think Michael Cera, one of the stars in Superbad, is absolutely adorable; therefore I might view Superbad more differently that others.
