I'm cleaning my stuff and planning to throw away Third Avenue Reports/Letters in paper form approximately 1998-2010.

 

Probably nobody is interested (and the link in this thread may cover some of these...), but if you are, I could send them to you. US only unless you pay for postage.  8) PM me.

 

Also have some Ariel Investments reports 2007-2010 timeframe. Same deal.
