Q A

I have seven Antique Collector monthly magazines from 1978 to 1980. I also have a Sotheby’s Preview from 1980. Could you advise me if they are of worth, or interest? Amelia England, via email These are almost antiques about antiques. They can form useful reference archives for people who are passionate about the subject – expect around €3 apiece. Some auction catalogues can be collectable in their own right. limited edition listings of Diana’s dresses – sold for around €1,430 in June 1997 – now change hands for many times that. Your mini collection may be worth keeping for future generations to enjoy.
