Thank you for your help grading this book!
I'm wondering how much of a hit the chipping and top edge tanning will have on the grade?
Is it true CGC does not grade Marvel chipping too harshly? How can you tell if the chipping is classified as Marvel chipping? Or is all edge chipping on Marvel books from certain periods considered Marvel chipping?

So very helpful, thank you.

Very helpful and thank you!

Thanks I never thought of that.
Curious the spot is so neat and concentrated. Smooth to the touch. There's nothing there you can feel. And penetrates the whole book. I don't know enough about distributors ink to know if it would do that?
Definitely not gravy or cola or anything like that.

Any thoughts on grade with the chew if the chew is determined to be a production issue?

I think I see the 3dr staple in the picture.
For some reason I can't increase the picture size for the image I posted to the CGC forum. An issue I need to solve...
But I increased the original image on my desktop and it sure looks like there's 3 staples. Which would be the 2014 reprint.
Thanks again for all the help.

Thank you for your kind follow up and interest.
Yes the 3 pictures are the actual copy. I asked for images of the centerfold and outer spine showing all staples as well as the whole page 3 to see if it's numbered.
Given the significance and printing history of this issue, I'm thinking by now, there should be an authority, a website by some individual or organization with knowledge of facts we know about each original and each reprint.
Good point about age of actual owner. The seller said he is a friend of the actual owner who asked for help selling.
I am super skeptical as well.

Thank you.
So to recap, originals have 2 staples, black square. Some originals have page 3 numbered, some originals do not.
Reprints have 3 staples, black rectangle or black square, and page 3 numbered..
So my picture has a black square. If it has 2 staples, would you say it's original? That seems to be very easy...
Or is there another check to be made?

Thank you and glad I asked. I will not do that.

Thank you for the Heritage reference where I can see the sales!
The ebay link does not go to an valid ebay site with any info.
The CGC string doesn't seem to give a definitive answer on 2 or 3 staples?
Further in the CGC string says "The 2nd reprint has a square box very similar to the original." So I'm still wondering how to tell the difference between the reprint and well preserved original?

I just noticed that Non-Comics Magazines has 12 pages of assorted topics.
Would I get better exposure to my inquiry if I started a new topic for Playboy #1 under Comics Magazines, and is that permitted?

Hi - Thanks in advance for any advice and help.
I have an opportunity to buy a Playboy #1. I do not have the magazine in hand because it is with the original owner who said he bought it when it came out in 1953.
I don't know anything about Playboy magazines.
I see where there seems to be several original editions. Then several later reprints. But the information is not complete and scattered among different websites. And I don't know how accurate each website is.
I'm using market pricing from GPA, ebay and some auction sites to determine value..
Would anyone have advice on how to determine if the magazine is an original 1953 edition and not a reprint? Here are 3 images I have:

Thank you both for sharing your expertise and explaining it so concisely.
The image with the grader notes was right on target. Thanks.
