Nervous about ordering from an on-line catalog?
Ken Ritchie is a private collector and an established mail-order adult-collectibles
dealer for over 25 years and is a well-known and respected authority on all
vintage PLAYBOY collectibles...
... Even PLAYBOY thinks so! Here's what PLAYBOY has to say about KRC:
PLAYBOY MAGAZINE, October 1998 ("The Playboy Advisor"):
"...The magazine's first fifteen issues, dating from 1953 to February 1955, are the hardest to find
in excellent condition and have the most value. If you're missing any of these issues or have
extras to sell, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to independent dealers such as...Ken
Ritchie [P.O. Box 22604] Memphis Tennessee, 38122".
PLAYBOY.COM, June-July 1999 (web advertisement for the PLAYBOY EXPO):
"...We've brought in the world's largest Playboy collector, Ken Ritchie, to dazzle you with his
Playboy mementos and relics from the past 45 years... Check out a preview of what Ken brings
on his Web site".
PLAYBOY.COM (Playboy Collectibles web site - KRC quotes and references):
There is no better reference for KRC than to be recommended and advertised on PLAYBOY's
own web site and magazine pages again and again... Read more about KRC by clicking on these

the wait."

in the future. I'll leave a positive rating for you."
SARA W., 07/12/2000 (via email):
"...The magazines were in excellent condition! I had thought that there would undoubtedly be
more imperfections, minor rips and tears, etc. as many magazine dealers sell for a similar price.
Thanks for the excellent service and good value, this should make a great birthday gift."
R. LEVINSON, 07/15/2000 (via email):
"...You've got a great site! The graphics are terrific, the hyperlinks are very user-friendly, and
the information you provide for collectors is comprehensive. Anyone dealing in P'BOY-based
and other adult collectibles owes you a debt."
