    I have some Forza magazines I'm going to be parting with. They are mostly late 90's early 2000's. Very good condition as some of them I just took out of the plastic to have a look at. #48 October 2003 Challenge Stradale issue is still packaged, never opened. Before resubscribing and posting them in the for sale area I'd like to get an idea of a decent price to ask per issue. Hopefully I can help fill in the blanks in someones collection.

    I recently bought 3 with the 575 on ebay for like $15 total. The seller had a ton, i googled which issues featured the 575 and grabbed them all, perfect condition, they're not valuable honestly

    This magazine has less and less pages every issue.

    I prefer Cavallino. But, I'll freely admit, if your favorite Ferrari has more than four digits in the S/N, Cavallino doesn't care much about it.

    Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll give them to grandkid and his friends. I was even thinking of tearing them up and making some kind of artsy collage or something like that. Maybe that will be a project he will enjoy.

    McPherson College (in KS I think) has an automotive literature library for their Automotive Restoration program; I'm sure they would be thrilled to have them, and I'm sure they will give you a receipt for a donation tax write off.

    forza is a nice affordable magazine for the new cars but is not very collectible the way its printed. I gladly pay a higher price for cavallino for the collectibility and though they mostly cover older cars its so worth it and my favorite

    Correct. Whereas I won't say that Forza has zero collectibility, it's just not on the level of Cavallino in that department.

    #1 and #2 are worth several hundred on their own, each (assuming #1 is an original). Numbers 3-30 are worth plenty more than $5.00 each, for sure. After that $5.00 each is about right.

    Are you referring to Forza or Cavallino?

    I think you're referring to Cavallino magazine. no reprints for Forza #1 exist.

    You have to keep the one that my 348 got a 6 page spread!

    The only thing mildly amusing about Cavalino are the snobby letters: "i loved your article on the restoration of chassis, XYZ. HOWEVER, I was at the Nassau Tourist Trophy races in the fall of 1958. It was a Tuesday. I was 6 and I distinctly remember the left door pull was green, not the black in the restored car". Or some other nonsense. Having said that, I have 100s of Cavalino and Forza!

    Old thread, guess EBay would give you some price guidance and with the new lownership of Cavallino it seems they will soon be relics as well.
    GLWS!
