You kidding, do you know how much a new in wrapper 1960s Playboy or Hustler goes for? A mint edition Playboy V 1 #1 (Marilyn Monroe centerfold) is priced at around $635,000, near mints sell for ~$75,000. There may well be a lot of value in hard copy porn, especially if it includes golden age porn in 8mm, Super 8 or 16mm film. It all depends on whether the collection is predominantly one or more artists that have collectable value, or porn movie series that have limited online exposure.
Not "up" on vintage porn prices but thanks for the market update!
How many #1 condition 50+ year old mags are out there? My guess, not many...
Love the Beastie Boys lyrics being thrown in this thread!
Being from Brooklyn, I love this comment. He should drink a Brass Monkey to ease his pain.
Im surprised this guy still had hard copy media of the films, including magazines. Everything is digital now. He could have simply converted it and moved it anonymously. I don't think his parents had a right to destroy his belongings though. It does not sound like the content was if an illegal nature.
Again, it was a collection, not much different than my brothers comic collection. He probably did use a computer when he was “using” porn, but this was actually a collection of vintage porn in various forms of the times. It was probably carefully curated and stored in Mylar in the dark, not a stash of mags strewn under the bed. It may very well have been worth $29,000.00. There are collectors markets for just about everything. My brothers comic collection is insured, this guy probably should have done the same. But his parents had no right to do this.
People are giggling because *gasp* the guy likes porn, but this was not his j-off stash, it was actually collectibles. Would people be laughing it away if they destroyed his baseball card collection? Why shouldn’t they give him the market value of the stuff they destroyed.
But people can’t get past the giggling and dismissive attitude cause it’s PORN.
There's a nudist camp not too far from where I live. There's a big sign for it at the end of the road it's on and me, my wife and all my kids all have a nice giggle every time we drive past it.
I'd really like to know how old the guy is and whether this same porn fascination was the reason for his divorce.
