NRA American Rifleman 1949 need help
I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me what this set is worth. It is complete and in very good condition. It has a ton of great articles in it and ads that make you cry when you see the prices  Here is some pictures:

Just did a completed auctions search in ebay.
Complete sets from the 1970s and 1980s bring around $10.
A 1956 set in the binder like yours was asking $30 and nobody bought.
A 1936 set without binder recently went for $28.76. Same seller sold full 1933, 1934, 1935 sets for $26 each.
I'm surprised all of these didn't go for more, frankly.

I might as well keep it then. I did glance through it and I did see something on the Swiss Schmidt Rubin rifles. Target shooting was really big back in the day I guess. Thanks to sissy American's, guns are now demonized.

I have a bunch of adds from OLD Rifleman magazines hanging in my gun room. They are really neat! Most are Browning adds for Superposed, A-5 Colt, S&W and Marbles. IIRC they are from 1958 - 1960 (the good ol' days)!

I donated a complete set(minus one magazine) from 1968 until 1999 to a 1999 Friends of the NRA auction and they only brought $50. Had I had any idea that was all they would bring, I would have kept them.
