I have a few magazines here

MODEL RAILROADER

OCTOBER 1970
NOVEMBER 1970

TRAINS MAGAZINE
unknown 1965 issue-no cover, but in good condition
JUNE 1965
APRIL 1966
SEPTEMBER 1970
NOVEMBER 1970
FEBRUARY 1972

JUNE 1973
DECEMBER 1973

RAILROADER MAGAZINE

MAY 1965
FEBRUARY 1972
JANUARY 1973 (slight water damage)

All of these magazines are in VERY good (not mint) condition, unless I indicated. What my question is..........what are these worth as a dollar value.They belonged to my grandfather, who passed away, and they are kinda momentos. Anyhoo.......I am curious. If anyone can help me out please feel free to e-mail me w/ any info to SPZOOL at AOL dot COM (w/o the spaces).

Thanks in advance!

I cannot tell you what a book dealer would get for them (remembering that a book dealer wants to have complete sets) but at most swap meets I go to, used magazines from this era sell anywhere from 25 cents a copy (if you buy a certain quantity) to $1 a copy, but rarely more unless there is something special about the issue.
