Why Collectors Love It:

Vol. 1 of Starlog’s Science Fiction Yearbook is a primary source document of the post-Star Wars SF explosion. Harlan Ellison and Fred Pohl in the same volume, Frazetta and Boris art coverage, and the 1st Annual SF Poll results make this a genuine historical artifact of late-1970s fandom. Finding Vol. 1 in readable condition is increasingly rare.
