Better hang on to this one if you find it!

I've been collecting vintage men's (girlie) magazines for years but I've never seen them fetch this much money before! (with the exception of the first few years of Playboy)

Hmmmm...

I'll keep an eye out for that one. Makes me feel bad for Ebaying the only copy I had of 'Frolic Magazine' from the 50s.

Now that I think about it I held on to a somewhat bizarre full-color girlie mag from the 60s called 'Seize'. I still have it packed away somewhere around here. Got any dirt on that mag? has a great spread with a bunch of topless 60s chicks playing poker....strip poker that is.

Ahhh, and the seller is from "the Block", Baltimore's @ one time happening red light district.

My guess is that it was a battle between collectors of Greta Thyssen, a popular large-chested model of the 60s.

The seller is highly recommended by yours truly. They sell only the best and always start the bidding at $5 with no reserve. I have bought many items from them and have always been pleased.

Claudia Cardinale is a cutey, but that price is puzzling. Neither name has much to make me think it's worth that.

Yes, "The Block" in Baltimore. I had a girlfriend I used to visit up there and one day I went for a walk around downtown. As I was crossing the street, I noticed this girl crossing towards me was really lookng at me. Not a glance, just staring me down. It was odd and I thought maybe it was in my head. And that's when I noticed I had crossed the street from downtown office land to downtown XXX land. A half block later I realized that girl was a prostitute as I was getting the same look from a guy loitering on the block. It was very odd. A complete change of pace one block to the next...

It is amazing what vintage smut goes for. I was given a box of 70s and 80s magazines, sold it on eBay for what I thought was ridiculous prices ($10-$20 a copy) mags such as Gent, i look for them now at garage sales!!!

And I thought This was a high price...

Not that this has to do with anything, but I remember in 1970, my 4th grade teacher had the class do an art assignment using magazine pictures.

My bestfriend - Eddie Barnburger - brought in a box of magazines from his dads garage. To our suprise and delight, the bottom of the box was filled with Playboy etc.

We got caught when I turned in my assignment, which was sort of a mountain scene. Sort of a twin peaks if you get the picture... (^^)

(Eddie's currently doing 15-20 for tax evasion)

So Claudia Cardinale is the poor but resilient widow from "Once upon a time in the west"?

Nice one that I don't have.
