To any of you know if books like this have any value and what maybe I should list them out I didn't see anything like them online? And I'm thinking maybe some of y'all may have seen this stuff before? Maybe. They are dated 1999.

Theyre not really old enough beachkid. 25 years old to be classified as a collectible,100 years old to be classified as an antique.

I agree with the 100 years old to be an antique but the 25 year rule for a collectible isn't true. I think you mean "vintage collectible". There are plenty of valuable things that are classified as collectible that are not that old, some are even brand new.



Although these have a modest value, I would not call them reprints. They are actual field reference manuals used in heavy weapons qualifications courses at the Silver Flag Alpha/US Air Force Desert Warfare training Center at Creech AFB.

But,if its the maker or advertiser thats marketing the new items as collectible,theyre not,because the item is usually made in the millions:laughing9:and yes i meant vintage,I couldnt think of the word on the tip of my tongue lol.
