Probably the fact that her modeling career was relatively short is one
reason for the scarcity. Aside from venues like VEF and the vintage &
pinups categories in general, I don't see that a lot of collectors are
into reposting and drooling over old sets of models from long ago. :->
(mostly not shorthaired), Lisa Vickers a.k.a. Pauline Mason. Among the
pics I have of her, of course all from long ago, most are scans (which
I probably got from VEF) from Club, Swank, Leg Show, Hustler, Velvet,
Escort, Mayfair. KPC is the only exception. If the model faded away
before digital distribution took over the market in a big way, then
she'll be less visible.
And eventually the model does get married, retires, and her husband is
jealous of all those random guys out there drooling over pics of his
wife, so the flood of material ends and we're left with whatever we've
got.
And sometimes the model herself doesn't want her pics & vids
distributed all that much after she quits the biz. I remember one item
from a number of years ago about Lori Michaels being very annoyed that
she still had crazed fans wondering where she was and what she was
doing and whether she would ever be back. (And whether they could buy
her used panties on ebay, and so on.)
In the case of early ATK stuff, if it's actually what I call "LATK",
merely licensed during the years while ATK got its shit together,
then it disappeared a long time ago anyway. In my own collection, even
looking only at shorthaireds, I see more than a dozen LATK models whom
I'd love to have more of but who are long gone: Helga, Nadia, Anatola,
Klara, Kamila, Lina, Pia, and others. The only exception I see is
Becky, whom you've identified here as Erin Goult; she was all over the
place for a while.
