Is there value to old press release info?
Didn't know where to ask this so I figured I would try here. I have all the press release info for all models from the 1990's through 2002. I was going through it and found I had a bunch of duplicates.
There seems to be versions of them and some are more detailed than others. I have multiple Carrera GT with DVD, photos and specs a couple of 1" 3ring binder for the 2000 MY and the smaller paper version along with a bunch of years including the 95 993.
I was curious if there is a value to this stuff. I have boxes and boxes of it and no doubt some has more value than others.
Any ideas? Here is a link to some pictures of the 993 supercup release I found.

It is all mostly in very good condition with some minor wear or marks.

There seems to be very little value. I've tried to sell some of the material I have and there is no interest.
The item that surprises me most though is Pano (PCA). You can't even give those away. I've tried.
The switch to a digital world seems to have killed the market for all printed material.

I've listed may material on eBay and here on this forum. I've never gotten a single response.
One thing you might consider is getting a friendly appraisal and then donating it to a library. The tax deduction can be significant. Just make sure the material is going to a non-profit institution.

Yes, online has pretty much replaced printed material.
I've got a press packet from '72 or so that my stepfather brought back from Germany while on a business trip. I've scanned it and put it up for all to see here:
