Anybody know how much good copies of boxing news from 1940 are worth?

Miles maybe?

There is one issue from 1949 on eBay in pretty good condition and thats selling for £6.99

Thanks I wondered if the ones from 1940 to 1944 were rarer due to it being the war etc.

Boxing News complete years bound from the 1930s used to sell for around £250. Now they go for a lot less. I guess the interest just isn't there any more.
1940 to 1945 are a lot rarer due to the war. But, because of the war they are a lot smaller and don't have so much in them. I would suggest around a fiver a copy.

From 1946 onwards, less again. If in good nick then maybe three or four pounds a copy and perhaps £100 for a complete year. From 1950 onwards much less again.

I hope this helps

Over priced that one. I've seen copies from the 1970s on ebay being sold for £20. Inevitably they didn't sell.

If you're patient, you can get them dirt cheap.

Around nine months ago, I watched a set of four bound volumes covering 1946 to 1949, sell for the grand total of £55.

I've got MOST of them from 1938 - 59... missing a lot of Individual Issues from 38, 40, 41 & 42

£1.99 - £5.99 is most often the Prices you'll see per issue, sometimes Cheap Lot Prices as stated, do come up, especially from the 50s onward.

also as stated a few Years back they were worth quite a bit more... I sold my Collection 100 Years of Boxing History - the Ring Magazine, Boxing News and at least 70 odd Boxing books for £3,000, which was about 2K Short really.

Anyway I've got Quite a Few Doubles 'IF' your interested... PM me, I'll look them out and I'm sure we can work out a Price.

Cheers.
