Sell Your Old Smash Hits Magazines
Welcome to SellOldMagazines.com—a professional resource for the responsible review of vintage magazine collections. If you have older issues of Smash Hits magazine, particularly those published before the mid-1990s, your collection may qualify for review. Known for its bright layouts, cheeky tone, and deep connection to pop music, Smash Hits became a defining voice for youth music fans in the UK and beyond.
We are currently reviewing select Smash Hits magazine collections that meet our general buying criteria.
About Smash Hits Magazine
Launched in 1978 in the United Kingdom, Smash Hits quickly became one of the most influential music magazines for teenagers. With its song lyrics, pop interviews, and irreverent humor, it documented the rise of acts like Duran Duran, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Wham!, Take That, and the Spice Girls. Its legacy lies not just in who it featured—but in how it captured pop culture in a format that was equal parts fun and fan-focused.
We most often review:
1978–Mid 1990s UK Editions
Issues Featuring Major Pop Artists from the UK, U.S., or Global Charts
Magazines with Intact Posters, Centerfolds, or Lyric Pages
Boxed Collections in Very Good Condition
Copies Without Mailing Labels or With Minimal Wear
What We’re Looking For
We welcome submissions, but only a limited number of Smash Hits issues will meet our resale standards. Please review the following criteria before submitting:
Era: We primarily review Smash Hits issues published before the mid-1990s. Later editions are not typically accepted.
Condition: All items must be in very good condition, with no missing content, water damage, mold, or excessive wear.
Mailing Labels: We prefer label-free copies, particularly for collector-displayed covers.
Quantity: We do not purchase single issues. We focus on grouped collections of 15 or more, boxed for shipping or ready for pickup.
Poster or Insert Content: Intact inserts may enhance a collection’s eligibility, but inclusion does not guarantee acceptance.
Due to the mass-market nature of Smash Hits, only a small percentage of issues meet the combined standards of age, condition, and collectibility required for resale.
