Re: value of magazines
When I joined Alamo As about 18 months ago two kind members offered me their collections. Some issues date back to the 1970s. I’ve been poring over them ever since. The technical articles are particularly interesting.
So, maybe ask new members in your own club?

Re: value of magazines
In the last 5+ years I have sold at least 700 auto magazines and thought I would post my experience of what sells and what should be left in your recycler. With exception, most sell best in volume or complete years. Individual issues are tough unless has something unique. Keep in mind this is after shipping.
Secrets Magazine, aka “Secrets of Speed” produced by Charlie Yapp. $3-$5 Per issue. F.A.S.T. Aka “Ford A Speed Technology” $1-$2 per issue. V8 Times from Early V8 Club of America. $.25 Cents per issue Vintage Ford from Model T Club of America. .25-.$50 Cents per issue Model T Times from Model T Club International. ~ .$25 cents per issue Model A News from Model A Restore Club, on a good day, .25 cents an issue. Horseless Carriage Gazette. Pre 1970, $.25 per issue, post 1970 resale plummets. Hot Rod, pre 1970-1980 Maybe $.50 cents, post 1980 recycle National Falcon, from Falcon Club of America. Early issues $.10 per issue in volume, by year. Post 2020, is zero resale. Generator $ Distributor, from Vintage Chevrolet Club of America. .$25 an issue on volume, complete years. There are exceptions and Your experience may differ but Believe it or not, there are still folks that collect library’s of magazines. When you sell, list by year, volume and issue. Enjoy!

Re: value of magazines
Old people who are hoarders will have magazines, newspapers, and every conceivable item stacked up on all horizontal surfaces. Eventually there are only narrow paths through the piles. At some point the even the paths get blocked and the old person dies. At that point the only solution is a skip loader and dump truck.
I like the idea of leaving the old car magazines in reception areas. Cut your address out first.

Re: value of magazines
I’m new to the hobby with my first model A and find the magazines a wealth of knowledge and help. I had a couple on this site donate theirs to me and am forever grateful. Since many were missing , I’m always looking for more, both the Model A news and Restorer. I travel between western Pennsylvania and Michigan thru Ohio. If anyone has some that they want to get rid of, I’d love to take them off your hands.

Re: value of magazines
I wish the clubs would offer membership with out the magazines. I have seen the same
stuff hashed over and over for the past 50+ years. A emailed news letter would be fine, it would cut down on the clutter and the cost of joining. I have so many different cars it would cost me over $500 a year just to be in every club. I rotate my memberships during the years to catch up on the happenings. |

Re: value of magazines
When I sell parts at a swap meet, I put them on my table and mark them "Free". Someone usually takes them.

Re: value of magazines
I had magazines back to the 1950s that came with a Model A that I bought.
the 50s and 60s sold. the rest I gave away. now when I get a year or 2 worth of Model A news, I place a classified ad here and someone eventually pays the postage to get them. I have kept a small number that have one of my cars or friends' cars featured. Hemmings Classic back issues go quick on CraigsList or FB Marketplace.
