Antiques Magazine saw its first issue hit the stands in January 1922. 

TRASH OR TREASURE?
 The pre-1950 issues are fairly scarce and have some minor interest to antiques collectors, but even 1920s issues sell for less than $10 each, and even then only when in "almost like new" condition. Issues from the years after 1950 are very common and can be found for sale on eBay in lots of 12 (entire year) for less than $10 (or less than $1 per issue).

62 pages plus covers and catalog pages, standard size, side stapled. Nudist/naturist collection with club directory. Illustrated throughout with b/w photos, with several full page, full color photos.

76 pages including covers, standard size. Black and white interior photos, some color photos and a color centerfold of Jayne Mansfield and Pamela Perry . Named models: Sharon Shore, Sara Aman, Gerry Garner, Barbara Loden, Meg Myles

Sherman Hemsley and Clifton Davis of Amen

62 pages, standard size. #173. (c) 1978 Charlton Publications, Inc.

Although common and not very valuable, Hot Rod Magazines do have a following and will actually sell to a collector if the price is cheap enough. They must be from the 1950s or 1960s though. Issues after that date are very difficult to sell and have little if any value.

1950s issues retail for around $8-$10 each.
1960s issues retail for $3-$5 each.
