183.0. "OLD MAGAZINES" by JUPITR::TALIX () Wed Sep 19 1990 11:16

    
    	This weekend I picked up a couple of magazines. One was a copy
    of Life with a picture of Mantle and Maris on the front from 1961. The
    other was a Sport magazine with a picture of Mantle on the front from
    1956. Both are in VG condition. I paid $4 for them. I'm not looking to 
    sell them but does anybody have a dollar figure for something like
    that.
    
    				Thanks,
    				Dave

183.1Good Find!AKOV13::GASPARONIWed Sep 19 1990 12:308
    If there Mint, they get any where from $35 to $50 for Life Mags with 
    Mantle on the front cover.  The Sport Mags go any where from $5 to $15
    again depending on condition, and the year.  Some of the older Mags,
    like Baseball Magazine from 1951 go for $75 and up, they are relatively
    scarce and hard to find in good shape.  If you ever are thinking of 
    selling the Maris/Mantle, let me know, I am in the market of buying
    that issue, or if you ever see another copy, keep me in mind. I'm
    willing to pay you a good $.  Thanks.
183.2Old Baseball Digest...RAYBOK::DAMIANOFamily, friends, SPRING TRAININGMon Feb 25 1991 18:4113
    An aquaintance of mine is going to bring by some old copies of
    "Baseball Digest" (late 30's, early 40's) for me to look at. His
    parents found a stack of them in thier barn in Oregon, and gave them to
    him. He has no interest in baseball, and offered them to me. I haven't
    seen them yet, but he says they are in excellent condition. 
    
    My question is this: He doen't know how much they are worth, and
    niether do I. Assuming I want them, what (in general) is a fair price
    for them? Is there anywhere I can go to ascertain  thier value?
    
    Are any of you knowledegable in this area? Please help!
