Collectors of vintage magazines look for different things. Some look for a magazine containing a famous author’s first printed work. Some look for first editions. Covers made by famous illustrators are very collectible, especially those by Harrison Fisher, Joseph Clement Coll, Jessie Wilcox, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, Coles Philips, John Held Jr., T.S. Sullivant and A.B. Frost. Some collect for the vintage advertising found in the magazines, with Coca-Cola being the most sought after. Advertising with food, cars and other household items are also very popular.

Condition plays a major part in the value since magazines were looked at as disposable and many didn’t hold up to years of wear and tear.
