OZ issue sold on eBay
The Collecting Vintage Magazines page is one of the most popular on Magforum and the popularity of the hobby is reflected by the growth of magazine sales on Ebay. I’m just doing the latest analysis, which includes the following findings:
- June 2012, number of live listings in the UK: 148,950
- Dec 2010: 98,095
- Mar 2007: 29,425
So, in the past 18 months, the number of magazines listed has jumped by half.
Of the top 50 most expensive items, only 3 actually sold. The dearest was a near-complete set of Motor Racing for £560 – it had 25 bidders. The most expensive single magazine was issue 4 of OZ.
I’ll be updating be Magforum page next week.

That’s a US title, first issue May 1947. I’m no expert on US mags and the latest I’ve seen is Sept 1969. But it’s confusing because there was a Drag Strip and Speed Age Magazine in April 1969 – which then did a reverse takeover to become Speed Age and Drag Strip! It must have folded after that because it was revived in May 1987 as vol 1 no 1. But I don’t know how long that lasted.
