Byte Magazine

Byte magazine started publishing in late 1975 and quickly became one of the premier small (personal) computer monthlies on the market. The earliest issues were very hardware and software centric while later issues tended more towards product reviews than down-to-the-register technical topics. Even so, various Byte columns still kept the technical torch alight.

I have every issue of Byte Mag from beginning to end except for 24. I believe there were 258 issues published. The 24 issues missing are interspersed through out the subscription period. I don't think any meaningful issue s missing, like from the first 3 years or the last 2 years. Any Idea as to how much this is worth. Or, do I donate to a museum and take a charitable deduction?

I'd like to know if there is anywhere I can view old issues - my father passed away last year and I remember he submitted a game to BYTE and received a check and it was printed. Not exactly sure when but i think it was before 1980 and a very small article in a column towards the back on a right hand page. I think the game was called Hi-Lo
