What should I do with my old gaming mags? I don't want to bring them with me when I move. I have pretty much every issue of EGM from like 1995 onward, and every PSM although I might keep those. Is there a museum I can donate them to or something?

you could try selling them on ebay or sell or donate them to a local retro game shop store near you, I’d love to have them though

Old game mags can fetch a pretty penny on ebay nowadays. Though I've noticed that it's mainly 4th gen stuff and earlier that makes the most money. There's a Video Game History Foundation out there but I think the curator has a huge collection of game mags already and likely has all the EGMs. I think they've all been scanned and are on Retromags or Archive. You might find a local game shop or arcade that might take them. I'd just sell them though.

Some even fetch hundreds of pennies. If OP plays his cards right he could make as much as 1995 minimum wage selling his old magazines. A truly retro achievement.

give it to retromags or archive org or some scanlation group.

I threw mine away then realized it was about $1200 worth on ebay a couple years later

It's a $1200 you wait so long for though by the time you get it it's no longer worth $1200.

Check on retromags if you have anything that hasn't been scanned

>so they could then sell access to those mags
What's wrong with you?
>>
>>11990894
Buy a used scanner and scan them all.
>>
>>11990894
Donate or Sell on ebay, normally I would offer to take them from you but at this point I would just be getting extra issues of stuff I already own.
>>
Scan them and upload to archive

this is the best advice.
