Personally I find them invaluable for research.

Just a 'survey' sort of question - how much
value do you guys put in
vintage
copies of old newsletters, magazines, etc. I'm talking mid-1970s, like
People's Computer Company, etc. Someone has been selling them one at a
time
on ebay and they routinely go for $125+ each! Was PCC fairly low
circulation? I have no idea how rare these things are - if I should just
dive in to have my memento or wait. Looking at auction history it seems to
be the same group of 2 or 3 bidders going nuts over them.
One newsletter I would love to find an original copy of is Micro-8.. but I
think the circulation on that was just a hundred or so, so probably
unlikely. It has some blurbs from Grant Runyan in there, who built my TVT
and Mark-8.
But yeah, I just wondered if you guys think generally this stuff *should&
be
considered valuable - given most/all is archived online.
