You're right Nick. No I would never re-create something like that and try to pass it off as original - especially try to sell it. I was just commenting on how easy it would be to do and wondered how one could verify the authenticity of the ones on Ebay and such.
I believe the term is "provenance".

Mike, you *could* type it out and try to sell it as original, but I am certain you would never actually do something like that. I bet that goes for anyone with a working teletype in the last 20 years.
It’s possible someone with access to a machine retyped one of these news bulletins in the 1970s-80s, but these days I imagine that no one but us greenkeyer types have a working machine. We may be crazies, but we are honorable crazies.

I've been curious as to the authenticity of those UPI/AP printouts of events like JFK assination, Apollo 11 landing, etc.
I mean... I could type something like that out on my 28 with the canary paper, maybe some worn out faded ribbon, and it would probably look pretty original.
