Talking What to do with my collection?

I have a collection of hundreds of Car and Driver magazines, every month for many years. Running out of shelves to stack them. What should I do -- throw them out, etc.? Dilemna, dilemna!

It's a good thing my pron collection is tiny, not taking much space.

When did your collection start? If it starts from issue 1, then you have something very valuable to a small interest group. Take a piccy of it and send it to Car n Driver. Ask them what you should do as you're running out of shelf space. They'll probably post your picture before you throw it into the incinerator.

Send them to the recycle center. Drop them off in various waiting rooms, i.e. doctor's office, dentist's office, DMV, your favorite tire store, etc.

Keep 'em. I have a TON of STUFF and MAXIM magazines too. Always fun to look at them when I'm bored.

I have a basement shelf unit full of ~1990-present of Car & Driver, Motor Trend and Road & Track. About 1 time every 2 years I will dig an old issue out....... they really aren't worth keeping.

unless you have some really old ones, i don't think they are worth any $......

I leave most of my other mags at my work or at the Gym..... autoweek, Maxim, Stuff, 4 wheeler, Modified Motorsports, compact car somthing, super street... bla bla bla..... they are all not worth shelf space.....

do you have a white elephant gift exchange party at your work? That'll come in handy.
