They are all available cheap-- Amazing, Astounding, Analog, Galaxy, If. Your best idea of the prices would be to look at the selling prices for ended Ebay auctions-- it looks like some types are getting a higher price. A lot of 46 from the 1950s went for $135. But then another lot of 50 from the 50s to 70s didn't sell with a BIN of $75. A lot of 31 from the 30s went for over $450! So it looks like "the luck of the draw" if your lot would attract competitive bidders or not. If you were willing to attempt to sell each one individually on Ebay, you might make some money, but then again it might not be worth the trouble when all the time and fees (and how much you paid for them yourself) is added up.
