About three weeks ago I picked up these 17 Nintendo Power magazines for $10. I got them mainly to enjoy the time-warp of reading about new games from 18-20 years ago. I have no plans on selling them, but I also have no idea what the market value is on these, or if there even is one.

In the picture are issues Jul/Aug 89, Jan/Feb 90, May/June 90, Jul/Aug 90, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 31, 33, 35, and 42. I'm assuming they're worth no more than the paper they're printed on, but any help is appreciated.

Those are all pretty common. I'd say that standard going rate for issues of that vintage is around 3 bucks a copy. The only two issues in that era that seem to fetch a few more bucks is the SMIII issue and the Castlevania IV issue.

Yeah, most Nintendo Power issues are fairly worthless, but you can't beat the enjoyment that can be had from reading old video game magazines like those.

$3 bucks eh? That's about $2.50 more than I thought they'd be worth individually. Anyway, I seem to have only listed 16 issues, and when I went to do a count, It appears I'm missing one, the Duck Tales issue. I just took that picture on Sunday...
