The astronaut issues of Lufe might be worth something.

Go into any half-assed antiques shop in Houston. It will have a section dedicated to NASA collectibles.

Every boy between the ages of 8 and 18 from 1959 to 1973 hoarded anything to do with astronauts. And most of those kids missed the Baby Boomer mom era of throwing out the shoebox full of Mickey Mantle cards.

I should be fair. There is a market for “pristine” collectibles. My father in law has tons of 1950s baseball cards and comic books that he has kept sealed since his childhood. A lot of the stuff looks like it just came off the shelf of a 5 and Dime. If you were an OCD kid like him and kept everything in perfect condition, there might be some value there.
