I was able to get 2 copies this morning. I also ordered one direct from USA Today and it was about $10 from them so $15-$20 on eBay isn't TOO bad.
One is going up in my cubicle at work, one is going on display at my house, and then I'm waiting to see if my friend wants the last one. If not, I'll post it up here.

All I can find on eBay is the "Youth Jailed" paper. It seems the fans don't want to give their "Gang Jailed" papers away. There's just one listing on eBay and this guy is asking for $600!!!
Re: Back to the Future Part II
OK guys, I was able to get 16 copies of the newspaper (3 of those copies have some defects such as small tears and smudges). Unfortunately, anyone who lives within a 5 mile radius of me will not find one
Here are some photos. I was a little disappointed that there was not a "Gang Jailed" version included; I've been wanting a "Gang Jailed" USA Today for so long
The "Youth Jailed" was the actual front cover of the newspaper. There are also some other BTTF related articles and photos through the entire paper. The paper is 11 inches wide and 22.5 inches long.
I paid $2.17 for each paper. Any ideas regarding the best way to ship these safely? I was originally thinking about getting shipping tubes, but it seems to damage the paper a little bit when I rolled my copy as a test. Or, maybe I should ship them flat in a big rigid envelope between two pieces of cardboard?

I use this type of book packaging to ship some of my replicas. It's available in different sizes.

Here's pictures of the paper for those who haven't seen it yet:
The replica cover is a four page section with the cover, an ad for Jaws 19, an ad for the USA Today app, and ads for the BTTF blu-ray and the Fox Foundation
The logos on each section were stylized for BTTF
There are many articles throughout the paper celebrating BTTF including an interview with Bob Gale and a "Where are they now". The entire Life section was devoted to BTTF.
...and no there is no "Section D" lol

I have both the "gang jailed" and "youth jailed" papers from today. I got the gang one at the AMC screening in NYC. I went to 10 different newstands and they all ran out of papers

He to order through their website. Went to 4 gas stations and two supermarkets. Then I called every book store and supermarket in town and no one sells USA today.

For anyone in the Los Angeles area, it looks like the only newsstand that has any left (and they're moving fast) is the Laurel Canyon Newsstand on Laurel Canyon/Ventura Blvd.
I believe the gang jailed version was also handed out for the "We're Going Back" attendees. Definitely worth the $880, right??

Got the last two at my Local Convenience Store this morning at around 9am... the cashier was confused when they saw them! :lol I had to explain that it was a special edition cover of the paper today
