Sell Your Vintage High Times Magazines (1970s)
Welcome to SellOldMagazines.com—a trusted destination for the careful and selective review of vintage magazine collections. If you have original issues of High Times magazine from the 1970s, your collection may qualify for review. As a counterculture publication that captured a distinct era in American history, early High Times issues are of particular interest for their bold design, controversial content, and cultural significance.
We are currently reviewing select High Times magazine collections from the 1970s that meet our general buying guidelines.
About High Times Magazine
First published in 1974, High Times was founded by Tom Forçade as a satirical blend of Playboy and Popular Mechanics, but quickly evolved into the definitive publication of cannabis culture. Featuring articles on marijuana cultivation, drug policy, music, and underground lifestyles, the magazine gave voice to a movement often ignored—or vilified—by mainstream media. Its glossy photography, celebrity interviews, and daring tone set it apart as both a cultural artifact and political statement.
Notable early issues often include:
Cultivation guides and psychedelic visuals from the pre-legalization era
Celebrity features on musicians, comedians, and activists
Controversial cover art and photography pushing the boundaries of mainstream publishing
Original editorials reflecting the era’s social unrest and drug politics
What We’re Looking For
We welcome all interest, but only High Times collections that meet the following criteria will be considered for review:
Era: Primarily issues from the 1970s (1974–1979)
Condition: Must be in very good condition—no missing pages, mold, excessive wear, or water damage
Mailing Labels: Label-free covers preferred, especially on early editions with artistic or provocative covers
Quantity: We do not purchase individual issues. Submissions should include 10 or more, boxed and ready for shipping or local pickup
Content Note: While early interviews and rare cover appearances may enhance reviewability, content alone does not guarantee acceptance
Due to its cult status, High Times had widespread appeal—but only select collections in strong condition are suitable for resale.
