Collecting Airline In-Flight Magazines - Any Tips?

So, I've been thinking about starting a collection of airline in-flight magazines. I remember flipping through them as a kid during flights, and there's something nostalgic about them. I just love the old ads and seeing how inflight entertainment has changed over the years.

Has anyone here dived into this kind of collection? I'm curious about the best way to get started. Are there any specific airlines or eras that are more collectible or interesting? Also, I'm wondering about storage-how do you keep these from getting bent and ruined over time?

I've managed to snag a few from eBay, but I don't want to overpay. Any advice on where to buy them at a reasonable price? Or maybe someone here has some to trade? Would love to hear any tips or stories from fellow collectors!

I started collecting these a few years back. The most interesting ones for me are from the '70s and '80s. The ads and styles are a real throwback. For storage, I use magazine holders from an office supply store-they keep 'em upright and safe. As for buying, check out estate sales or flea markets. Sometimes you stumble upon a box full of them for cheap. eBay's good, but yeah, prices can be all over the place. Have you checked with any local aviation museums? They might have extras or know collectors.

I started collecting a few years back, focusing on 90s magazines. Love seeing the evolution of tech and fashion in those ads. For storage, I use clear plastic sleeves in binders, keeps them flat and easy to flip through. As for buying, try estate sales or flea markets. Scored a bunch for cheap that way. eBay can be hit or miss on prices. Anyone else find good spots for older issues?
