How to assess a periodical
Value depends on the title, age, the content of the specific issue and condition. Issues published for major events, with complete pages, an undamaged cover and no cut-out articles, are the most sought after.
Frequently asked questions
Why are some issues worth more? People often kept issues published after great victories, Olympic Games or championships, yet only part of the print run has survived. The content and its significance for collectors of a particular sport are what matter.
What condition are old newspapers usually in? Newsprint yellows and becomes brittle over time. Small tears at the edges or folds are common in old newspapers, and the condition is always stated in the item description.
How should newspapers and magazines be stored? Flat, in acid-free boxes or folders, away from light, moisture and heat. Do not fold them repeatedly or repair them with adhesive tape.
