Addresses

So, you want to write to Erika? Well, there's plenty of addresses for you to use. First you should visit Erika's official site, where you can find means to contact her. If for some reason you can't go there, I would recommend to use the first address from the list. It's the address of her manager Melissa Prophet, so it's probably the best one. We know that Erika answers fan mail personally.

(901) 323-6195

Thank you for your inquiry. I specialize in back issues of PLAYBOY magazine and other PLAYBOY collectibles and have one of the largest and most extensive inventories of such items to be found anywhere. I also stock a wide variety of other material that is similar in nature. Due to the sheer size of my inventory and the fact that it is constantly changing, I am unable to provide one comprehensive listing of everything that is available. Instead, I offer a range of individual lists for collectors who are interested in specific titles, models, topics, or types of material. I hope you see something of interest.

GRADING: My standards of grading are extremely strict, and I will gladly compare my material to the corresponding grade of anyone else. All items are complete (unless otherwise noted), guaranteed authentic, and graded using the following standard system.

VG: Very Good. The next most popular grade, these are very solid but obviously used copies and will have some minor imperfections. The favorite of collectors who actually like to read their magazines from time to time without white gloves.

[Editor's note: Ken's list also gave prices for several other grade as well. For brevity's sake, only the price for the Very Good grade is listed. A complete price list is available at the FTP site.]
