Thanks, that's what I wrote on the playboy1953 page (I'm the owner, need to fix the link), I just thought somone might have put together more information than I have in the past 50 years...Nobody's really sure about the significance of the red star - one of the theories is that when the first issue of Playboy was printed, it was relatively common to print a star on the cover to signify a reprint (similar to what they do on US currency). So, possibly, the red star edition is a reprint that was produced right after the first print run sold out.rancher

If you want a re-print, they go for $20-$30 on Ebay, if you want an original in poor condition, it will be 10 times that.It was a funny response. Also, I never knew about the different versions of Playboy #1. As a collector, how easy/difficult is it to obtain a copy of this without paying through the teeth?Rancher

What are you calling the newsstand edition, was the page 3 copy not a newsstand edition, and what was the purpose of the red star?There are three versions of the original Playboy #1 from 1953 - a newsstand edition, an edition known as the "page 3 copy" (where page 3 is numbered) and an edition known as the "red star copy" (which has a red star next to the P in "Playboy").
Playboy #1, how many versions of this exist?
