Any reason to keep a bunch of old hockey magazines/becket pricing guides?

I acquired someone's entire hockey card collection (150,000+ cards) and these were in a box. Any reason to hang on to these? Hunch is no, but wasn't sure if there was a niche market for these things. 🙃

There are members here that collect these pubs. Maybe generate a listing of what you have and post it to the Buy/Sell forum thread. ------------------------------- My sins have come to face me, I can feel it That I have lived my life in vain And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown

There might be some fun articles surrounding players, new releases, and collecting trends from those years. Plus, you can compare the cards of RC and HOFers to see how their values have changed since.

Some of the older issues from the 90's had poster like images on the inside covers (Mario Lemieux, Al MacInnis, Sergei Fedorov etc.) that could be framed up. I guess depending on who is on the cover might also make the edition collectable. Also the pages with their pricing are good for starting camp fires if no one shows any interest.

I have Becketts that have players from my teams on the cover/back. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

The site could use a scan of the Beckett 14 Annual https://www.tcdb.com/Publication.cfm/pid/318/Beckett-Hockey-Card-Price-Guide-2005

Hockey set collector including inserts, ERR, COR, VAR. Knowledgeable about 1968-69 to 1994-95 hockey.

All 1990 and newer cards for trade are NRMT. Expect the same in return. 1989 and older are assigned a grade. Everything on my trade list is available for sale. Reasonable prices based on condition. If it's not on my tradelist, it's not available.

Never throw away any kind of book. I like to put them in my face-time backgrounds.
