Some Advice Please (1 Viewer)

Hi
I wonder if I could get some advice please, and apologise if this is the wrong forum.
I used to be a K&C collectors for many years and then 8 years ago I stopped collecting. But now thinking of starting again.
During that time I collected a lot of the Collector magazine (No.1 - Xmas 2016) and leaflets going back to 2000. E.g.
The original real west
Arnhem (Limited edition),
Germans far back as WS003
napolenics
streets of HK
Alamo

I also have a number of paper price lists. (200x)
Now I do not want to part with any of these, but I was wondering other than nostalgia and reference material do other people collect these and do they have any $ value.
I look fwd to hearing your thoughts/advice if that's OK

Anything K&C I collect and save....calendars, leaflets and alike. I am not sure of the monetary value of these items, but I've noted collectors do list these items for sale.

I hope this helps.

I just started collecting KnC in 2021. I went back and tried to purchase as many old Collector magazines on Ebay. I love print magazines, especially about toy soldiers and action figures. Probably paid $10 per back issue. I did not find them all. I like the leaflets, but don't think I'd try and get any of the old ones. Everything I want is captured in the magazine.

Yea - I must admit owning this material is quite good. I used to get the leaflets when I bought something new, as they would be thrown in the order.
I notice I even have some of the invoices.... You right collectors tend to collect everything,
I am not planning to sell any of it as I find it a nice way of going down memory lane...

I have all the leaflets and brochures (except for a couple) going back to the beginning. From time to time I have sold some duplicates but they didn’t fetch a lot, on average. I have a rare brochure which cost me big money when I purchased it several years ago.

Wow - that must be so cool.

I'm sure someone will sell or give you a lot of magazines or brochures.
They are fun. Wish lists sometimes.
So what K&C did you collect?
What are you thinking of collecting now?
Best Wishes, Happy Collecting & Welcome to the Forum
