Welcome to SellOldMagazines.com—a professional platform for the careful review of vintage magazine collections. If you have older issues of Hit Parader, especially from the 1960s through the 1980s, your collection may qualify for review. As one of the longest-running music magazines in the U.S., Hit Parader captured generations of rock, metal, and pop culture in print.
We are currently reviewing select Hit Parader magazine collections that meet our general buying criteria.
About Hit Parader Magazine
Originally launched in 1942, Hit Parader began as a lyric-focused magazine before evolving into a full-fledged music publication. By the 1970s and 1980s, it had become a major outlet for rock and heavy metal fans, featuring artists like Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Kiss, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Ozzy Osbourne. With colorful covers, behind-the-scenes features, and album commentary, Hit Parader documented the sound and style of rock’s golden eras.
We are most likely to review:
1960s–1980s U.S. Editions
Covers Featuring Classic Rock and Heavy Metal Artists
Issues in Very Good Condition with Intact Covers and Pages
Boxed Collections of 15+ Magazines
Mailing Label-Free Copies Preferred
What We’re Looking For
While we value all submissions, Hit Parader collections must meet the following criteria for consideration:
Era: We primarily review issues from the 1960s through the 1980s. Earlier or later issues may be considered as part of a larger collection.
Condition: All magazines must be in very good condition—no mold, torn pages, heavy creases, or water damage.
Mailing Labels: We prefer label-free issues, especially when they obscure photography or cover art.
Quantity: We do not purchase single issues. Submissions should include 15 or more magazines, boxed for shipping or ready for local pickup.
Cover/Content Appeal: While issues with legendary artists may stand out, content alone does not determine resale eligibility.
Although Hit Parader is a recognized name in music publishing, only a limited number of collections meet the required standards of preservation and volume for resale.
