Abebooks.com is the place to go for a rough guide to the value of books.

Cheapest copies (1960s) seem to be about $1+postage.
Most expensive is a (nearly) complete run from issue 1 through to April 1995. ($2400+)
It seems the issues with Stephen King's "The Gunslinger" are collectable (5 issues from 1978-1981, $675)
There were, apparently, some special limited editions (Isaac Asimov, Stephen King) which are worth up to $250 or so.

The first issue (1949) on its own is $150 or so.

And any serialisation of a famous novel might be worth more as a set.
