Sell Your Old Esquire Magazines
Welcome to SellOldMagazines.com—a trusted site for the careful review of vintage magazine collections. If you have older issues of Esquire magazine, especially those published before the 1990s, your collection may qualify for review. With its blend of men’s fashion, politics, writing, and culture, Esquire has long been known for its distinct editorial voice and visually compelling covers.
We are currently reviewing select Esquire magazine collections that meet our general buying guidelines.
About Esquire Magazine
First published in 1933, Esquire was one of the earliest lifestyle magazines tailored to men. Known for its stylish layout and literary contributions from writers like Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Esquire helped shape modern American publishing. By the 1960s and 1970s, the magazine became a cultural touchstone, featuring bold cover art and thought-provoking commentary on everything from fashion to politics.
We review Esquire collections that typically include:
1930s–1980s Editions
Covers Featuring Political Figures, Writers, or Cultural Icons
Special Issues or Thematic Editorials
Fashion, Grooming, or Lifestyle Content from Earlier Eras
Boxed or Bulk Collections in Very Good Condition
What We’re Looking For
While we welcome interest from all sellers, we have specific review criteria for Esquire and other publications:
Publication Date: We primarily review issues published before the 1990s. More recent editions are unlikely to be accepted.
Condition: Items must be in very good condition—free from major damage, mold, water exposure, or missing pages.
Mailing Labels: We prefer copies without mailing labels, especially if the label covers part of the artwork or headline.
Volume: We do not accept single-issue submissions. We prefer collections of 15+ issues, ideally boxed for shipping or available for local pickup.
Cover and Content: While certain topics or personalities may help a submission stand out, no specific content guarantees a purchase.
Please keep in mind that while Esquire has historical significance, only a small portion of its back issues meet the niche conditions required for resale. Submissions are reviewed individually and selectively.
