A seller on eBay had several Johnny Harden magazines listed for sale.  This is a no-no on eBay because Johnny Harden material is “adult”.  He’s got several rare issues in the lot.  I can tell even though they’re mostly covered and kinda just thrown together for one quick photo. The BuyItNow price is $150 for TWENTY-FOUR magazines and a set of photos. 

I immediately purchased the lot.   

And I sent him a note and inquired what other stuff he is trying to get rid of. “Oh, just a bunch of wrestling, beefcake and male model stuff.  So, yes, you’ll be hearing about some of the 450+ pieces I bought from him for $400. 

Rick Valente is one of them.  I had to look him up.  He looked vaguely familiar, but the only thing that rang a bell is the fact that he’s on the Van Halen “5150” album cover in the “Atlas-with-the-world-on-his-back” pose!  Beefcake eye candy from the 80’s.
