How much are my old newspapers/periodicals worth?

From an American Library Association pamphlet:

• "In general, libraries do not appraise books [or newspapers]; that is the business
  of bookdealers...
• The [Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America] ABAA membership directory
  will give you a listing of booksellers...with their specialties [including newspapers]...
• ABAA's web page is at:   http://abaa.org
• Some old magazine and comic books are valuable, especially if in good condition...
  Your local library may have issues of Hobbies magazine, which includes informative
  articles and lists of dealers..."
