Default Corvette News Value

I have been a long time owner of Corvettes, since 1965. I subscribed to Corvette News from GM and for a few years after they changed the mag. Do these mags have any real value,?? I have a full set from 65 on, with duplications, still in plastic covers. I've moved them all over the country in a file cabinet, maybe take them to a Vette swap meet and part with them. ??? I am not an E Bay person. Need to touch and feel it before I buy. Has anyone seen them for sale? What kind of a value should I put on them.?? zzzzzzzzzzzz

There are several on Ebay. mostly sets of ten or so, it looks like. Here is a set of 33. http://cgi.ebay.com/Corvette-News-19...QQcmdZViewItem
Sounds like you have older ones in great shape. There is one issue on Ebay that has a bid of about $15.

The older ones, 65-67 are probably worth about $15.00 each. They're the ones with the "CORVETTE NEWS" in block letters across the top.

The 68-up ones are probably worth $3.00 each if you can find a buyer. The 68 up ones are very common.

The real old ones...1957, 58, 59 are worth LOTS of money. An original Vol. 1 No. 1 1957 in mint condition will set you back about $1,500.00

The others sell for $200-$300 each. Chuck

I bought several issues. Pick and choose those issues that have interesting articles. I usually can buy them between $5 & $10 a issue. See them at swap meets fairly often.
