FS: 128 Life and Time Magazines: 1969 to 1973

Post by Super Cameraman »

I posted this on Craigslist but that's only local, so maybe someone here wants it or knows someone. I'll just copy and paste the whole thing.
I have 128 Life and Time magazines ranging from late 1969 to early 1973. They are in good condition and are totally readable. The color photos are clear and vibrant. This was a very interesting time period. These magazines include such events as the moon landing, a lot on Nixon, the opening of Disney World, the Munich Olympics, the opening of The Godfather, and more! The ads are also very interesting. It's interesting to see how much advertising (and what is being advertised) has changed!

Time Magazine
76 magazines
Earliest: April 4, 1969, commemorating the death of Dwight Eisenhower
Latest: February 5, 1973

While there are a lot of Time magazines, many are missing. The majority of them are from 1971. You can see in the pictures how many I have from each year. (1969 on the left to 1973 on the right.) If you are looking for a specific date, feel free to email me, and I will be happy to check for you. I would, however, prefer every magazine to be sold at once.

Life Magazine
52 magazines
Earliest: August 22, 1969, about fashion and the moon landing
Latest: December 15, 1972, about Christmas

Like the Time magazines, a lot of these are missing. You can see in the picture how many of each there are. As far as I know, there is close to every single one from 1972. '71 has about half. There is one from '69, and there are none from 1970. The pictures in these magazines are just gorgeous. They are as clear and vibrant as ever. Also, if you are looking for a single date, please email me so I can check to see if I have it.

On eBay, a Life magazine from this era averages at around $10 and Time averages at about $7 or so. This would place the value of this collection at over $1000 dollars, but I will take the highest offer I get.

I know that's a lot of money, but if the eBay prices are right for single magazines, that should be what this whole thing is worth. If you know anyone interested, please let me know. Someone has got to want these.
