I have a complete set of Byte magazines from 1st issue to last, with some extras.
How's $50 sound? Or????

    Quite a collection!

    How many issues total?

    According to Wikipedia, first issue was sept 1975 (have it) and last issue was July 1998, so that comes out to be 324 issues if my math's right. There were also special issues above the 12/year. I'm pretty sure I have them all (I'm a bit of a pack-rat). As I dig around I may find more mags like 73, CQ, Kilobyte, etc. I'll post as I clean.

    sidecar,

    $50 seems incredibly cheap for such a complete historical collection. (OTOH, it'll probably cost more than that just to ship it.) Issue #1 alone is going for $20 on eBay.

    Phil, at one point I tried to sell on ebay, one year at a time (no, I didn't put in the first issues :))
    No luck. Also tried Craig's list, no joy there either. I'm sure there's more $ by piecing these out but it's
    time to clean house. With 50+ years of "collecting" we're running out of house.
