Take a look at selling old typewriter or fountain pen ads. I believe collectors would be interested in those. Along the lines of arty ideas, people I’ve seen take 40’s and 50’s ads of family travel in Americas parks and collage the pics on journals.
I will! I did list a couple of fountain pen ones, and did sell a smith and corona type writer one. I'd like to find some Rolex ads! Those will go well. Thanks for watching!!
I should have said that the majority of these ads came from Life Magazine, Boys Life, Ladies Journals and Popular Mechanics. Haven't gotten to National Geographic yet but I will check them out! Thanks for watching
Very easy to list, if I'm a bit slow on new material coming in I'm going to keep putting up 100 at a time and see how sales are for the year on them. Probably would be very complimentary to the ephemera you sell, might be worth a shot. I got most of these out of early Life magazine, Ladies Journals and Boys Life publications
I had a collection of Winchester related ads that did real well in selling. Seemed like the best and largest ads were the 20s and 30s. I was getting $10 to $15 for pre 1920 ads from magazines like Saturday Evening Post.
I've definitely been in a number that do, I just don't have much interest in that market as of now but that could change. I have more space now so I'm open to it all!
I STORE all mine from same mag in same bag ...if its a TIME mag from 56 i use T 56 as a location i dont have a crap ton listed ...but i will at some point
Still buying? 8/9/23. Loads of stuff from when my dad closed 1977. Store junk went, hate books! Most from storage in back room or barn (tight). 1000 pear boxes full (12 bks each average) & loads of ephemera & pb's. NE Pa.
I'm still buying, working through 5 picks currently. Send an email, any pictures/details send them my way and we could go from there. pmontelione@yahoo.com
The boards I bought were "Life" Magazine Backing Boards" 10 7/8" x 14" inches" - The hard stock mailers are "12 3/4" x 15" Photo Mailer Envelopes PAC Worldwide" - The clear bags are "11 1/4 X 14 1/8" Clear Bag Acid Free Clear Sleeves for Mat Art" - Hopefully that helps you, it should work for the majority of the ads. Of course if they are smaller you can get comic book backing boards and ads. Good luck Katey! I'll follow up with a video in a couple months! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I'll take note of that and see if there's a big difference or not. I really think my sample size may be to small, should probably put up 1k for this but unfortunately I don't think I have the time to do that. Thanks for the comment!
It does but most magazines are very difficult to sell and the ads are usually more profitable. The magazines I cut up had been sitting in my shop for 8 years. Most all I used were damaged in one way or another so I salvaged the ads from them.
I just dived into vintage print ads . One thing is ; MAKE SURE nobody else is selling the SAME AD !! I also sell match books . I MAKE SURE nobody has the same one on eBay. THAT IS THE KEY TO EBAY SUCCESS !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, man. I was thinking about doing this, and your video popped up! Enjoyed your down to earth style
I enjoyed watching this. I just bought a vintage Smith & Corona typewriter for myself. Thank you.
auto, smoking, whiskey?, coca cola..

I look forward to following this. I love ephemera and print ads!

that Brooks with the bannister.... wow😅
march 10th and SNOWING ! upstate new york! so cool!
Not that cool! Hahaha
Literally cool.
Let me know if you are interested in 50 life magazines from the 1930s. No time to parse out the ads.
older national geographic mags have lots of ads

Great idea. I sell postcards, and this would be another ephemera item to go along with them.

I did put up a handful of them, no sales yet but I expect them to! Thanks for the info! Saturday Evening Post I've definitely pulled some from too.
Hey Phil congrats on 3K subs !

Most of the bookstores that I know of the used bookstores they also sell records old records you might wanna check into that

I wanna try selling these on WhatNot. I don’t know the logistics of boarding them what size do you use that would be “standard size”
The boards I bought were "Life" Magazine Backing Boards" 10 7/8" x 14" inches" - The hard stock mailers are "12 3/4" x 15" Photo Mailer Envelopes PAC Worldwide" - The clear bags are "11 1/4 X 14 1/8" Clear Bag Acid Free Clear Sleeves for Mat Art" - Hopefully that helps you, it should work for the majority of the ads.

Oh and I ship First Class, that seems to be the best!
An interesting statistic may be what percentage of B&W ads sell vs the Color ads.
Yeah, I'll take note of that and see if there's a big difference or not. I really think my sample size may be to small, should probably put up 1k for this but unfortunately I don't think I have the time to do that. Thanks for the comment!
If you cut out the advertisements from the magazines will that not damage the print material

Busted by the woke police. Makes me ashamed I wore the uniform
