How much are 1960s magazines worth?

Answer 1

People collect almost anything: Cars, Model Cars, Miniature Cars, Toy Ships, License Plates, Dishes, Coffee Cups, Guns, Fishing Poles, Fishing Lures, Bottles, Bottle Caps, Stamps, Vases, Pottery, Rocks, Butterflies, Insects, Flags, Paintings, etc...and Books; Magazine collectors are mostly unheard of, they being mostly book collectors. Magazines, also called PERIODICALS, are considered "throw aways" by book people, in the same category as "newspapers." However, don't discard your Periodicals (Magazines)...remember nearly everything is collectible; as an old saying goes, "one man's treasure, is another man's junk." Scan the web for "magazine/periodical" collectors; most magazine collectors may not be collectors of the magazine by themselves, but will be specialized collectors of "First Editions", and/or subject specific periodicals such as: Golfing Magazine, Fishing Magazines, Car Magazines, Ship Magazines, Surfboard Magazines, Boating Magazines, etc. News worthy event type magazines such as the old 1960's LIFE, LOOK, & TIME type magazines might have some specific collectors out there somewhere. Book Collection shows, sometimes have magazines (usually hidden away under the table in boxes). If you come across any magazines that famous writer's used to contribute articles to, such as Jack London...which are no longer in print, those would probably have a much higher value rate to collectors...those types were published prior to 1916.
