I've hoarded all my mags ever since I threw away all my 2000AD comics from issues 1 right through the first 3-4 years (had it delivered from the newsagent every week along with "Roy of the Rovers(!)" when I was forced to do a clearout as a littl'un

I "Dredd" to think what they may be worth now but I don't like to think about it too much

Don't bin then, whatever the missis says!

Local doctors/dentists surgery might be glad of them, God knows, there's nothing worse than waiting to be called and being forced to read Family Circle or Bella.

True, but buy the same margin I'm not sure Mrs Miggins wants to see Sophie (18, from London) flashing her assets in Max Power whilst waiting to see Dr Boyd.

Early issues of Evo are worth sticking on Ebay. Max Power et al - recycle them

How much are early Evos worth then Chris?

Oh, and if anyone has issues 1,2 or 3 of Bizarre, i'm a buyer.

And also 1,2 and 6 of Skin Two, even less appropriately..!!

Evo Issue 1 up to £7.50.

IIRC, issue 1 has made up to £20 before.

The trial issue is very rare - an orange Elise on the front IIRC.

NRev, want me to fax it to you? Don't really want to break the collection, but happy to send you an article.

TK, in the sense it's not car related/"acquired" taste...!

Actually all 60 issues of evo should be worth well over £100. There was a complete set went recently for £225

Issues 1-3 alone often make £30-40 each.

Try selling on ebay, I sold about 100 mixed car mags a while ago for £30

Exclamation

mixit,

Sorry mate, I'm not really looking to sell, I was just curious how much they are worth!

No offense but it would take a lot more to make me part with them!!!

Cheers
Andy
