Do issues 2 through 5 of the White Wolf magazine have any value?

Does anyone need them for archiving and/or completing a run of issues?

All over the place for values from past sales.

#1 - and unfortunately not on your list - went for a starter $5 bid as did #2-5 when I didn't spot those until too late, poorly-listed (winner would not part with those "at any price"), whilst another time #1 was listed at $150 and vanished pdq. With only 40(?) copies or so for the start (or pre-start) of the namesake of a large company such as WW that shouldn't be too much of a surprise, I guess.

I'm still needing #3 here (*waves*), having picked up #2 from T&T for $33 (slightly low, IMO) and a spare #1 for $42 (well under-priced despite that $5 major-league miss). My previous #1 was from NKG many years back when Aaron had lower prices than now...
There was a comic shop with a couple of #4s at $20 for a long time and I swept those up when discounted to $10, but that issue is otherwise very rarely seen. #5 is more freely available at $5-10 although it looks rarer than it is and has sold a bit higher in the past.

Allan sold his early copies (missing #1, again) to Shannon Appelcline, IIRC; who was also not parting with those for any money.

Good spot, thank you... that insertion of "40" as seen elsewhere into the /apparent/ gap in Shannon's list per http://www.rpg.net/columns/briefhistory ... ry11.phtml didn't seem particularly elegant. Repeated 200s makes much more sense.
#4 is a bit rarer than I had thought if that's the case and I guess I'll need to re-check why re. that relatively very small first run for #5?

Cheers,

I have 2-5 on my list of things to get...

put me down for then as well;)

Brette:)

Just a heads up in case anyone missed it, I noticed when ordering WW 8 - 16 the other day that Aaron at NKG has a White Wolf #5 up in "EX" condition for 5 bucks. Nothing earlier than that, though.

I have the early issues.  Bought them as a gamer (as opposed to collector).

Never seen a copy of White Wolf on sale for very much...guess I haven't looked.

I want the issues because I hear they have Shadowrun stuff in them; I want to read that. Eventually, I suppose.

[edit]

Looks I am stupid again. Got these confused with Challenge. Still, they do have Arduin and some other things in them, so they're still on my big ol' list of must-gets... some year.

Heh.  I've never even seen one of those for sale.
