Club magazine question for the blog experts

In the act of cleaning out old magazines I found that I have a rather large collection of older Healey club issues.
Austin Healey Club of America -
79 through 80's - 29 issues
1990 through 1999 - 58 issues of Chatter includes 11 of the issues when the name changed to "Healey Marque"

AHC, Inc, Pacific Center - 36 issues of Healey Highlights through the 1980's

now my real question - My brother purchased our 64 BJ7 and I have owned it for most of the years since. I have an original owners certificate issued in both our names. My brother joined the Pacific Center club when it was first formed. He collected every issue of "Healey Highlights" from Vol #1 Feb 1970 thru Vol 8 #2 Feb 1977 including a few membership lists over those years, 86 issues.

Is there a value for the issues from 79 thru 99 ?
Is there a value for the complete issues from the first issue thru the 86th of Healey Highlights ?
Or would the binder of original 86 issues add value to my Healey when it comes time to sell ?

I would warn anyone looking at the for sale sections that they will shed tears when they see the paltry prices for 100 M and 100 S models. I did.
 
I've seen club members trying to find a new home for their magazines for the cost of shipping, so I'm not sure they have a great deal of intrinsic value. OTOH, it would be nice extra to get at the time of sale for a purchaser that is new to the world of Healeys. The two largest US clubs have some of their back issues online, although I don't believe it's the full library.
