VTG Playboy March 1960 Near (9. 0 - 9. 4) Playmate Sally Sarell, Jill St John
Item History & Price
Playboy January 1960 Volume 7 #1 (Very Fine)
Cover: GlossyPages: WhiteStaples: ShinyBinding: ExcellentCorners: Light Bump (Back)
Centerfold: AttachedEdges: SharpGloss: MaintainedThumbing: NoneMarkings: NoneInserts: YesOverall: SuperbPersonal Views About this Issue:One of my favorite early covers utilizing some special effects from the 1960's era. To have one in this nice shape is somewhat rare for some reason. Most of these issue always seem to show extreme shelf wear, or reading... marks. Not sure why. A nice printed review with some pictorial of Playboy's Penthouse (The TV Show). If you are into early Las Vegas, some nice photos of the showgirls of the time. The rear cover bump does not break color, and in my opinion, could be improved upon to give this issue a grade bump up.
