Hey guys, was wondering your thoughts on the matter? Is there a market for high grade Fangoria magazines? Do not see too many CGC'd but is there a demand market for high grade copies?

I'm sure there's some sort of market and collector base (albeit a relatively small one), but my guess is that the market is extremely undeveloped and thus unstable (prices will vary widely).  Outside of comic magazines, most magazines fall into a similar category with immature markets that are still getting established and this includes everything from 1920s Fashion and Home magazines (Hearst's, Collier's, SEP, Life, etc.) to adult magazines and news publications from the 1950s to today.  All have some sort of value to the right interested collector but what that value is, would be a toss of the dice on any given day.  Even Famous Monsters, Warren's most successful title, falls into this category.

It's not to say that they aren't valuable, only that finding the right buyer may be more difficult than comic magazines.  Hope that helps.
