I sorted out some magazines at the weekend and I've got issues 1 to 50 of Evo stacked in the cupboard now.

Is it worth keeping them for anything other than future reference?

not worth as much as unsoiled copies of razzle.

hmmmm,

Depends on rarity. Old Viz'z for example do go at collectors fairs but then the print run was significantly less. Old Evo's might be worth something in a few years time.

what about old Pirelli Calendars? I've got all the ones from the 80's in boxes! & in total plus a couple of duplicates....

I tried to flog my set of the first 50 evos off and didn't get anywhere in months.

Ended up giving 'em to Beef for nowt, eventually.

Depends as people say, check ebay out some stuff goes for lots say 1st issue of giles annual - £300 quid I think I saw.

Someone had a collection of most of editions of EVO it went for over £120!

But at the end of the day, you have to find a buyer for these things to be able to sell them. Thats much easier on old rare stuff. the other problem is deciding what they are really worth!

I had a promo copy of Viz that came out before the very first copy. I think it came free with Sinclair User

I cut it up to make tape cases Worth a bit now.

I give all my old car and bike magazines to the charity shops, where they flog them on. My Nan who was a volunteer in such a shop said they would sell out in about 3-5 days, as all the kids buy them. I would take in about 1-200 magazines at a time.

Be good to dig out in years to come if nothing else!

I've got issues of Performance Car from 86-88 and MTB mags from 89 onwards. Quite interesting reading!

Ralf

Interesting readin, yess!

And take a look at ads from 10 years ago lol

EVOLUTION

E-BAY is your best shot i think.

I've got nearly every copy of FHM since issue 70 (when they revamped it - ie put women on the cover)right up to date!!!!

I sold my old collection of Commando comics on ebay and made a packet, give it a try.

Until recently, I had most copies of Fast Lane going back to the first issue (May 84 IIRC), tons of Performance Car, and a selection of other (non-****) mags. I had to chuck almost all of them out because my father had the audacity to sell my storage facility and move to a retirement flat. A sad day indeed.

If you are looking for a good home for these id be Very happy to take them off your hands ive recently subscribed to Evo but it would be interesting to have a look through the older issues.

Let us know anyway, and how much youd want.. u may remember me from Stone Meet, got a UK MY99 in green.

I had loads of issues of the Transformers comic (including issues 1-10 apart from 3) - apparently they got binned, but I'm convinced they are hiding in the folks loft somewhere

Someone mentioned they might be worth a bit of cash now

[Edited to add - about £6 by the looks of it! ]

Ah, interesting one this. My mother-in-law has 2 copies of Mecanno Magazine from 1927, and 1928. Anyone know if they are worth anything?
