From December 1953, the first issue of Playboy Magazine featuring Marilyn Monroe on the cover. The 70+ year old magazine is in good to very good condition, rating out at a 2/10. Playboy would become a phenomenon in the United States and this was the first iconic issue. Monroe, then the world's most famous actress, is featured in the centerfold in a shot by photographer Tim Kelley. Playboy no longer circulates magazines today, but does maintain an online presence.
