"this might be worth a lot of money one day to specialist collectors....."

I managed to do that a few year ago when in one manic clear out
I recycled a long high wall of heavy boxes
of musty smelling music, photography and cinema magazines;
that had accumulated and accompanied me over 25 years
and relocations from the south west to the north, back to the south west,
to London, then back home to the south west again......

Then I just stopped buying magazines all together.

Trouble is all that home space I reclaimed soon enough more than filled back up again
with a wall of guitar amps and speakers...
