Description: Playboy August 1956 HMH Publishing #v3 #8 Jonnie Nicely Note - centerfold is detached on this one, but included loose. This is being sold as a "reader" copy. Although a pristine collection is the ultimate goal of every collector, the reader copy allows a collector to aquire a complete set much faster and far more economically than they anticipated. The reader copy allows a collector to have the opportunity to thoroughly examine and enjoy the many articles, classic humor, vintage advertising, and pictorials without the fear of damaging a higher quality or pristine issue. All reader copies will have the centerfold intact, but will have a a number of moderate to major defects, along with an acculmuation of smaller defects. This may include minor rips, moisture discoloration, page wrinkling, rusty staples, writing on the cover, or other defects. In no way is it a collectable that should be graded. For reference, reader copies would grade on the CGC scale below as VG- or worse, which would be equal to a 3.5 or lower CGC grade. CGC scale: Gem (Gem Mint) - The highest grade assigned.
