    Default Old Wizard Magazines question

    Hi guys

    Hope This is the right section to post:

    I have a stack of old Wizard magazines. I was wondering are they worth to sell or not?

    I'm really struggling to decide. Any advice?

    No idea if they're worth much nowadays. Check for sold listings on e-Bay, I'm sure someone's nostalgic for the mags they threw out years ago. I've definitely heard of people collecting old NintendoPower magazines and such. Not sure if many people are looking to re-buy old Wizard, but if you're not set on keeping them for nostalgia's sake, it might make you a few bucks?

    If only Wizard magazine were still around to price those early issues of Wizard magazine.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    They are worth very little. But on the other hand if you are nostalgic for them its cheap to get them new (less than cover).

    It's surprising how much some of the very early issues go for on eBay; especially if they're still sealed with any posters or chromium cards intact!

    But that's the exception, the vast majority of issues are bargain bin fodder. I know because I'm guilty of buying some myself...
