...at least, to serious collectors.
Scored 13 like-new (several in mint, or what passes for it...57 years later) VERY-seriously
collectable automobile magazines, and want them to go to a dedicated collector.
These guys were mass produced, and are ephemera (meaning: not intended for long term preservation).
Anything 'new', that is advertised as being "collectable" really isn't, due to its mass production and distribution.
Anyway, got to cherry-pick these magazines, and they ARE something rare and collectable, due to their
subject matter AND due to their physical condition.
I don't need or want to sell them individually, but here are their images, descriptions, and my
appraisal of their fair market values (again, to serious collectors, because simple, well-worn "reading"
copies of them are readily available.
These magazines have hard, firm (basically un-opened) bindings.
Maybe/hopefully, magazine collectors will produce sealed-and-condition-graded issues, as are now produced by/for
the Comic Books.
The Intro-63-Corvette issue is the only one that is of 'readable' quality, but, it probably is of considerable interest
to the Generic Motors crowd, and why I bought it.
So, without further ado, here's the stuff, and my (bulk-) pricing on them:
May 57 MT: MINT; NO mailing label (meaning sold over the counter) $30.00+
May 57 MT: ALMOST MINT (with mailing label, and slight cover-marring, only) $20.00
FEB 57 MT: MINT (with mailing label): $30.00
MAR 57 MT: MINT-minus (with mailing label; very minor wear to one small area of spine): $25.00
FEB 59 MT: MINT; (NO mailing label: $30.00
APR 57 MT: MINT (with mailing label) : 25.00
APR 59 HOT ROD: (Mint; No mailing label; Cooper Monaco & Mercury road test): $20.00
JUN 61 HOT ROD: (MINT; Norm Thatcher & blown Bonneville Dart): $25.00
JAN 63 MT: (Average+; readable; great material) 63 Sport Fury & tuning S/S Dodge: $7.50
JAN 63 HOT ROD: (MINT; with mailing label) NASCAR & Belvedere Super 426: $15.00
APR 63 HOT ROD: (MINT; with mailing label) NASCAR & least-MoPar of the bunch: $12.00
MAY 63 MT: (V/good; with mailing label) Corvette introductory article; Grand Prix & Dodge 880 & Chrysler Turboflite : $15.00
OCT 25, 1960 LOOK magazine: (average+ with mailing label) 1961 all-cars introduction issue: $10.00
OK, so the sum Retail-total of these 13 issues (IMHO) is around $264.50, plus mailing (I'll risk the
insurance on the package, as it will go to a responsible party).
So, what's my "best price" on this deal?
$200.00 (plus actual shipping cost); you will NOT be disappointed with the QUALITY that you receive, PLUS you'll have
realized a significant re-sale profit potential on these excellent-mint condition magazines.
