Our present age finds the printed page less and less in use as we reach for our phone, iPad, laptop, television or desktop computer for our daily news and related information.
At the start of 2020, the Internet was home to 44 zettabytes of data. The world was adding 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day since.
How much is a quintillion? Well according to Alexa it is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 — that is 1 followed by 18 zeros. The amount of data being produced for the Internet every day is staggering.
Just a few short years ago, our daily news and information was provided for us in printed form via newspapers or magazines.

We recently had a client who had collected 16 years of Hod Rod magazines. The collection started in the late 1950s and ended in the 1960s for a total of almost 200 magazines.
Short of recycling them or having them end up in a landfill, we found value on eBay.
We found a collector willing to spend almost $500 to own this special collection.
