Hippie3 · 10-03-08, 21:17

sad to say
i need the money more right now.

psylence · 10-03-08, 21:38

Ouch...hope you get your money's worth out of it then. It's hard to put a worthy price on a priceless item.

rocketman · 10-04-08, 12:54

Wow, sorry you have to sell this off hip. Someones getting a deal it looks like.

Hippie3 · 10-04-08, 20:15

nah,
no one has met my price yet.
$40 ain't gonna get it.

PsychoDrogue · 10-04-08, 20:23

im in the same hard spot man or i'd be all over it for 100 or more. not gonna see these around too many more and to help out hip (for heat of all things, c'mon guys) is totally worth it. I just started working again man, if you dont get an offer within the month i'll put 100, but i know you dont wanna hold on to it that long so best of luck moving it.

Hippie3 · 10-04-08, 20:34

$100 would be nice...

Myc · 10-05-08, 12:51

You're telling your age Hip!
I'm surprised to see another member that has an original copy of this issue!!

Well, that's a relief, since I don't have forty bucks just sort of lying around. But if you change your mind... the offer stands.

Hippie3 · 10-05-08, 14:48

sorry

mr. brown · 10-05-08, 16:22

are they burning the shrooms in that picture?

PsychoDrogue · 10-05-08, 20:16

it looks like she is probably blessing the mushrooms over some kind of sacred ash

rocketman · 10-06-08, 11:33

Nobody yet? Wow.

rocketman · 10-06-08, 22:03

i collected old national geographics for a while, do you have a collection hip? or just the ones that are of interest to you?

suckerfree · 10-07-08, 00:15

TastyBeverage · 10-07-08, 11:43

C'mon people, this is an amazing piece of history!

i have 2,
Playboy & Easy Rider
going back several years.

rocketman · 10-07-08, 17:15

When I was a kid about 9 or 10 I found a stash of skin mags while garbage picking. Yeah I was poor back then lol. I had this guys whole collection of Club, Penthouse, Playboy, and Hustler. 9 boxes stacked to the top of my closet and under my bed. My mom made me trash them all when we moved from that house, and some other lucky kid got hopefully got em.

Some Playboys dated back to '73. I bet they would be worth a bit today.

Do you have the Marylin one. I didnt but I had Linda Carter (wonder woman) and Susanne Sommers. I also had the issue with the cheerleaders of the NFL. Lots of teams stopped having cheerleaders because of that one.

Do any of yours hold a special place with you?

TastyBeverage · 10-10-08, 11:48

Bumpety bump...

With the holidays coming up, this would make a REALLY GREAT xmas present for that psychedelic collector in your life. Hell it would make a great xmas present for you!

rocketman · 10-10-08, 13:42

wow, if you cant get fifty bucks for it, i sure as hell wouldnt sell it.

Hippie3 · 10-20-08, 09:15

agreed.
i'm patient though,
someone will want it
and offer a fair sum
eventually.
