Restoration, which is minor in our opinion includes cover reattached with glue, spine split sealed to cover. Overall, nice collectible for the Playboy / Marilyn Monroe / Hugh Hefner Collector. Playboy magazine will forever be recognized for its social significance in reflecting as well as contributing to popular American culture. Issue number one, featuring Marilyn Monroe on the cover, is one of the most recognizable icons of popular culture and Americana.
Early issues are especially rare and highly collectible. Presented here is that special issue that started it all, Issue #1, December 1953, featuring the immortal Marilyn Monroe as the "Sweetheart of the Month" (a designation that would evolve into "Playmate of the Month").
The cultural significance of this issue needs no introduction (nor does cover gal Marilyn Monroe) and there's a reason copies of this issue have changed hands for thousands of dollars in our auctions! Don't miss your your chance to secure this highly desirable, rare and collectible, Playboy #v1 #1, the original, December, 1953 magazine CGC Graded!
