Donate them or recycle them.  There were too many produced from that era and they are not really collectible.  1970 - 6.8 million; 1980 - 10 million + were printed.  Most magazines or books to be valuable must have had 1000 or less printed.

Sorry for the bad news.

Lynn, 

   I appreciate your input. I tried to donate them to the Veterans Homes around where I live but they had too many of them and the library had little space. Thanks again!
