ADULTS ONLY Purchase the Entire Year 1957 This is a very nice collection of 12 magazines, one for each month of 1957. Most are in Fine to Near Mint condition, as indicated with each issue below. Although you may purchase one or more issues, I would like to see this full year's collection go to one person. If you would like to purchase the entire year, the price is $1,597.60—that's 75% of what it would cost to purchase each one individually below. NOTE: Many of these 1957 issues have the year, or month and year, very lightly penciled (almost not noticeable) on the front cover. Shipping is FREE. Insurance is available for $16.95. PA residents must pay state sales tax on the total purchase price.      For more information, or to purchase the entire 1957 collection Contact Us Item #BS0637 Playboy, January 1957 #BS0637      Contents: Holiday Issue The Hustler—Fiction, Walter S.

Collection Information: This collection of Playboy Magazine back issues, dating from 1954, was placed on consignment. Most can be classified as in near original condition, and many look like they've never even been read! Most of these were wrapped in sealed plastic wrap over 15 years ago. Condition—The presumed condition as viewed through the plastic wrap is noted. Because I could not peruse the sealed magazines and did not want to open them immediately, upon receiving an order I will open the plastic wrap, check the inside, and if it is as described I will ship it. If the condition is less than described, I will contact the purchaser and explain the deficiency, and give the purchaser an option to receive a partial or full refund. Returns—No returns are permitted. Payment Method: Please "Add To Cart" above and use PayPal. If you like you may pay by check or money order. To order and pay by check / money order, Contact Us (link in left margin), let us know the magazines you are interested in, and we will confirm the order and provide payment instructions. The magazines you are interest in will be marked "Sale Pending". When paying by check / money order, we will hold shipment for 10 days after receipt of payment to allow the payment to clear.
