I had the entire run of, ahem, Commodore RUN Magazine, and had a great time flipping through them as you describe. But when I moved, I didn't consider them worth moving and put them in the recycle bin. At nearly 20 years old, they were starting to get the yellowing and musty smell like ancient Playboys have. Later I realized that they might have fetched a few dollars on eBay, but the biggest regret was trying to find a reference for something (specifically, this Neuromancer video game ad from 1989 [0]) that I knew was in them. Then I found that someone had scanned them all put them on bittorrent, including the disk images from the Special Issues.
So I miss the nostalgia of flipping through the pages, but it's truly the content that has value.
