I have complete unbroken sets of:
MELODY MAKER (26 July 1975 – 8 September 1979)
SOUNDS (16 August 1975 – end of December 1978)
NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS (26 July 1975 – 8 September 1979)
RECORD MIRROR (20 November 1976 – 18 November 1978)
all in excellent condition (apart from the inevitable yellowing aroundf the edges); bagged up in polythene and kept flat; pretty pristine.

Plus I have some very early Stiff posters (eg. Elvis Costello’s Alison 45) 15″ x 10″ B&W poster [in rolled tube], Mint.
[I also have a couple of boxes of original punk badges, but I shall have to dig those out]
Any predictions on worth???
