Offered here is the very first issue of the iconic men's magazine, Playboy, signed by the publishing founder himself, Hugh Hefner. This issue came out on December 1953, and features arguably the sexiest starlet of all time, Marilyn Monroe, posing nude for the first time in any magazine at the height of her career. Hefner’s impeccably bold black marker autograph is graded a perfect gem mint 10 by PSA/DNA. Comes complete with a Full Letter of Authenticity and grading from PSA/DNA, and the historic piece is also CGC Slabbed and Graded. In fine condition. A perfect encapsulation of the ultimate in 20th Century Pop Culture—a pristine Hefner autograph on a rare first issue featuring Marilyn—it simply doesn’t get much better than this!
