There are many factors.
. Is it a 1964 reprint (does it say "reprint" at the bottom center of the front cover.
. Condition: You need to describe the condition, does it have complete front and back cover and spine without markings, chipping, cracking, etc. Is the issue complete. Describe any faults with the issue.
Hi Bill my name is Stan, and I have a 1907 issue with Alexander Graham Bell as the opening author. I read your article about the signature reprint sign on the front cover. I kinda felt like an idiot! I figured , "That would explain the great condition of the magazine!"

nd it does'nt say reprint!
If they are originals rather than single copy 1964 reprints ($30-$50 each) the condition will determine whether they are $100 or maybe as high as $500 each. If the terra cotta covers are unchipped, you can command a premium for the earliest. If the latter ones (much better paper stock) are nearly pristine, they command a lesser premium than truly excellent terra cottas. If Bill passes on the set, I am happy to explore their purchase
