Tips for Collecting 1970 Life Magazines

Video Transcript

The year is 1970, and guess what's really becoming popular in 1970? Credit cards! Let's just charge it. That's when it all really started going big. Here's Bank of America. I remember the old Diner's Club card. My very first credit card was Montgomery Ward, and I don't even think that there is Montgomery Ward anymore, but that really made me happy when I got a Montgomery Ward card. Look at that! Who are we looking at right here? Happy Jack. "Nicholson is the easiest rider of them all." Look how cute and young he was, Jack Nicholson. That's another great collectible. People collect certain actors. They are going to want to collect Jack Nicholson perhaps in all his different age groups and movies that he made. So they might want to ask me, "Jan, I'm looking for a Nicholson that is March 1970 that's the Happy Jack photo." This a scene from Easy Rider, talk about a movie that was in a culture of the time. Pretty darn amazing. Here is an Expo in the World's Fair. The Expo in 1970. The World's Fair that was held in Japan. A lot of people collect World's Fair stuff, stuff that has to do with the New York World's Fair. The World's Fair are very, very collectible. So in 1970 the Expo was held in Japan. That's a very cool thing. Here is all the pomp and circumstance that went with it. "Have you ever wished you could draw like this?" Do you remember these ads? These were great. Oh, let me point out another insert, advertising insert, those are always good if they are still included. "How do you like to draw?" So an ad for one of those drawing companies where you could get into the art world. Let's take a wrap over here. We've got Supreme Court justices from Oliver Wendell to Harold. So Supreme Court justices were incredibly important, and now as we enter political campaigns they become more and more confrontational and controversial, but what's more important is we all learned to charge it! Wonderful!
