Paul!  70s Playboys for $20.00 each???  I can send you hundreds of 70's 
issues for 2 bucks each if you like.  Most are mint - a magazone/comic/coin 
shop has them here for about $1.50 each.  70's issues can often be found at 
flea markets for 10 bucks for whole big boxes!
The only issues I've ever seen going for 20 dollars per issue and up are 
magazines from the 50s.  If you'd like to research this out on your own self, 
I can give you the number for the finest store in the country for Playboy 
memoribillia and magazines, called "The Centerfold Shop".  I believe they 
have an 800 number.  I will try to find my business card from them, if you 
are interested in persuing these.  But believe me, 5 dollars an issue for 70s 
PBs is still too much.  I just thought I'd mention it.
