December, 1953, Original 1st Issue PLAYBOY MAGAZINE, Monroe, Hefner, Good / Very Good, Overall Condition. Here we are offering the coveted and highly desirable, original, 1st issue of Playboy Magazine, the most sought after issue from December, 1953, published by Hugh Hefner, the magazine that featured the famous Marilyn Monroe centerfold. This magazine is in overall good / very good condition with some signs of aging, as can be expected for a magazine over 70 years old. Not sure if the front cover replacement is from another original 1st issue of Playboy Magazine or a later reprint issue from the 2000's or a copy of either one.

There are imperfections here and there but still in nice, presentable condition. Most notable imperfection, see last photo, is the inside back cover and last page of the magazine. There are a few tiny chips, some age spots and about 1/3 of the bottom last page and back cover are glued together. Most of the inside pages are in good / very good condition in our opinion with some age spots here and there. Lots of photos, so you be the judge of this great magazine's condition.

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 in good / very good condition.
