A Missed Niche?

Sorry for the silence ~ I've been working on projects, yes; but also a HUGE series on social networking sites (which began with 2 simple points, but based on the topic and client discussions has mushroomed into a large tangle).

While you wait for me, and I hope you do, here's something to think about regarding adult collectibles:

When you think about it, this is one area of business that the adult industry has not been a leader in ;) Perhaps this is due to the 'tarnished image' thing -- but look at them flock to events to get items signed!

I must admit I'm a huge collector of naughty and risque things (some for their historical value, others for their hysterical value, and others because they just plain rock) and while I've bitched often about eBay as a sales platform, I've not put much thought into this as an industry itself. Shame on me.

I've rather thought of it as a cottage industry of lone sellers with basements full of vintage men's mags etc. and never compared this to collector associations... Other than a Playboy collector's club, I can't think of any adult collector groups (with publications, dues, etc.) Hmmm...

What do you all think of A) Silent Porn Star's question from her post and B) of this niche of collectibles?
