Playboy March 1956 Complete Original Issue Back Cover Clipped See Photos WHAT YOU GET One complete original issue: Playboy, March 1956. ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS & MODELS Features cover model and Playmate of the Month Marian Stafford in Playboy's first-ever three-page fold-out centerfold, photographed by Ruth Sondak. Interior features include "The First Night of Lent" by Ray Bradbury, photography by Russ Meyer, and original humor/cartoons by Shel Silverstein. CONDITION READ FIRST: a 3" x 4" section has been clipped out of the back cover. This is photographed and is the defining flaw of this copy. Everything else is strong: bright cover with good gloss, sharp corners, tight square spine, and a centerfold that is present, fully attached and effectively flawless. No writing, no water damage, no tears elsewhere. WHY THIS ONE Priced well below a clean 1956 copy because of the back cover clip. If you are filling a run and can live with that, this is otherwise one of the better-preserved 1956 issues I have. SHIPPING & PACKING Ships within 1 business day. Bagged in an archival sleeve with a rigid backing board, then packed flat between corrugated pads. Never folded, never bent. A NOTE ON PHOTOS eBay does not permit nudity in listing images, so interior and centerfold pages cannot be shown. Interior condition is described in full above and I have photographed the centerfold folded and edge-on so the staple attachment and any edge damage are visible. Happy to answer any specific condition quest
