Help With Valuation

[James Bruce]

Hi,

I have a fairly large collection of NG. Ranging from 1971-1998. I am not entirely sure of their correct value. Could anyone help?

I have a detailed list of issues stating which have maps and which are special edition etc. that I could show to help aid valuation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

James

As a matter of selling them, if you are offered $50 take it. You'll earn more if you take the time to list individually (preferably with a scan) on eBay or other electronic site. Some individual magazines will fetch more than $5 in a typical auction.
As far as valuation as a donation, I subscribe to the half-subscription value until the 1940s where the value actually does increase. Your 27 years for insurance or tax-write-off purposes ought to be in the neighborhood of $200-$270. Deduct much more than that for charitble write off, and IRS is very likely to balk
Hope that helps
Happy collecting
Paul
