Value of huge Road & Track magazine collection, 1969-2020?

My dad had a subscription since 1969, read and kept every single issue. I guess I cannot attach a photo, but it fills an entire bookcase. Im sure certain collectors would want certain issues, but is there a place in the world that would want the whole thing? This is in the Sacramento area.

Put them on E-Bay. Auction is for an Entire year and 12 issues should fit in a priority rate box. Start at $20

Are there sought-after collector’s items within these years?

Recycling bin is where mine went

I'm sure there is someone out there that would love to have this collection, the problem is finding how to connect with them.

I see things like this at antique malls and places like that often. While they don’t seem like big movers, a couple bucks each seems reasonable. Certain issues with iconic cars on the cover maybe 10-20 bucks. Might be worth selling individually or perhaps by year depending on how much of your time you’re willing to put in.

I have that plus similar stashes of many car and auto racing magazines. Seriously, a row of filing cabinets full and totes of more. I don't expect it to bring me riches. Most likely, it will become a burden for someone to get rid of someday.

If you get to the point they will just get recycled, let me know and I will come get as many as I can. If you can sell them to someone and make some money do that instead though.

If you have all of them, probably $300 or so. Good nostalgia collection but not that valuable

$3.50
