One of my roommates in college (1992-3) decorated our suite with vintage playboy centerfold's taken out of 60s and early 70s playboys. It was kind of embarrassing when women came into the suite, but I wasn't going to raise a stink because I probably would have had to live off campus if I had not hooked up with these guys. Plus they had a really nice TV/stereo set up.

Vintage Playboy centerfolds are the covers of Maxim now, so there you go.

A (female) cousin of mine once entered a short-story-writing contest in college where the prize was that the story would be published in an unnamed national magazine.  Turns out she won and then discovered the magazine was Playboy, which would not have been her choice of venues.

But the point is, when I went to get that issue to see what the story was, I was literally "buying Playboy for the award-winning short fiction".

They were full naked if I remember correctly.

 

I got in a couple short boxes of early 60s Playboys and the centerfolds are mostly topless and a couple are full nude.  Definetely a step up from current Maxim standards but not by much.

Kinda the opposite.  I was expecting a porndog or a dealer but it was a nice young man.  

He was buying them for his father in-law for his birthday as his father in-law used to collect Playboys and he said ' it's either this or a lawnmower'...........

Does the Mother-in-Law know about this? :roflmao:

There is an estate sale in NJ this weekend with a collection of every Playboy. #1 to current apparently. They are taking bids so I inquired about the procedure and was told that bidding starts at $10K. The #1 is in a frame in the picture so condition is hard to gauge but $10K to start seems very optimistic to me. Or am I wrong?

You are right on. Unless they are pristine still in the brown paper wrapper.

Wonder what the wife thought about it... ???

 

Bruce Lee collected Playboys even though he was married ;)

(Kramer was right on Seinfeld , most men turn into wusses when they get married : "is it okay if I use the bathroom now ?" :P

Ha, I didn't expect this.  Why did the buyer want them?  Still waited for the answer.
