Nothing says credibility like a nude centerfold

As a longtime Playboy subscriber, I can say that mag has gone for a major shit the last few years. The celeb pictorials are shit, C and D-listers at best and they rarely show anything. No more Dian Parkinson/Katarina Witt-type pictorials here.

 

I sold all of the Anna Nicole issues, every one sold to people who live down south.

I used to have Pamela Anderson's first two issues. Her first cover (1988) and her first centerfold (1989). It was almost eight years ago, but I think I got $125 for her first cover and $200 for her first centerfold.

 

I did not know that about Danica's hubby.

 

How much did you get for the Anna Nicole issues?

Man...triple figures for old Playboys? That's nice. You sell them online?

 

A "threesome" is not normal.

 

Well, Dian Parkinson was as D-list as you get, but that was a good pictorial. I remember walking into Tower Books as a high schooler and seeing Stephanie Seymour on the cover. I think this was weeks before the SI swimsuit issue came out and she was currently doing the GNR videos and other than Cindy Crawford, was the most popular model working.

Now, they get Heidi Montag and she doesn't even show anything. I don't think Kardashian showed anything either. Now if they get a has-been like Lisa Rinna they act like it's a big deal.

 

More than $100 is rare. I got that for the two Pam issues, the Drew Barrymoore issue, and the first Cindy Crawford issue. I actually made more selling the first several issues of Maxim, which I was sent for free when it first started. I got over $200 for the first issue that was still wrapped.

I was definitely quite the pack rat when I was single. I think I get four magazines now (Esquire, Rolling Stone, US Weekly and EW). I think I've gotten Esquire free for well over a decade because I got on a media mailing list back in the day.

 

I can't believe somebody would buy a "used" Playboy.

 

Maybe they are normal.
But the guy - at worst - had issues and enjoyed himself some underage sex and a few violations of professional conduct.
This happened more than once and there are records.
I'm not accusing him of screwing around on her. This stuff happended prior to the marriage but it did happen.
You wanna call it a cheap shot - fine, but I'm not seeing it.

 

Google with the filters off can be a beautiful thing. Definitely NSFW.

Yeah, I thought so too, but the people who spend a decent amount of money on an old issue with a big celebrity are more interested in it as a collector than they are in the way you would expect.

I would get a lot of questions about whether subscription cards were still attached and stuff like that than you would think. I had one guy ask me to buy a case to send it in.
