I also looked up the Wikipedia page for #70 Newspapers. I was pleasantly
surprised to see this mention of the most expensive newspaper that also
includes stamps:

The most expensive newspaper ever sold at auction is a copy of the
Romanian newspaper, Zimbrulu and Vulturulu (The Aurochs and the Eagle)
from 1858.

The paper was mailed to the city of Galati on the day it was published,
using eight Cap de Bour (Bull Head) stamps.

The rarity of the stamps combined with the number and quality led the
newspaper to be sold in 2006 by the David Feldman auction house for a
record $1.1m.

It was purchased by the famed philatelist and collector David Hackmey.
