Is it partly an identity thing? In that these magazines represent a range of your interests, and your level of intellectual engagement with them, and thus to you -- and perhaps to others -- something about who you are? This might explain the visceral attachment.
And I do feel much the same way about books and fanzines: I like having them about, for all that many are ones I rarely look at properly twice (or, in some cases, once yet), and that's why we moved somewhere with space for them. And, of course, You Never Know when you'll want a specific one.
