Collection Information: This collection of Playboy Magazine back issues, dating from 1954, was placed on consignment. Most of the 1950s magazines can be classified as in near original condition, and many look like they've never even been read! The later years are in fair to near mint condition. Most of the older magazines were sealed in plastic wrap over 15 years ago. Condition—The magazines that are not sealed in plastic wrap are fully described and the condition is explained. The presumed condition of sealed magazines 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: We prefer PayPal, where you may use almost any credit card or even pay by check. Please "Add To Cart" above and use PayPal. Bank check or money order acceptable. Use Contact Us link in left column, let us know what you want and we'll make arrangements for payment and shipment—check or money order will delay shipping for 10 days to allow payment to clear. S&H Note: If purchasing one or two, add S&H only once. If purchasing three or four, add S&H twice. If purchasing five (5) or more, DO NOT add S&H. Consignment items offered by Arden Services.
