Actually, after I started to closely follow the PH vintage thread, I feel I need to correct myself. I would say that the majority of their latest "vault" reissues are in fact in better quality. You can compare here (new) and here (old).

Some examples:
old


new reissue


Both files have practically the same pixel size, but the new reissue has much better image. Again this is not to say they don't have many poor resolution galleries. They do!

Anyway, they have many genuine 1600 pixels pictorials which look much better compared to the old ones. I'm very thankful for that. Undoubtedly, PH had absolute gems back in the day, and I'm very happy to see these pictorials are being reissued.

Dear Hustler, please learn from PH. Stop pretending that you never existed prior to 2000
