Hugh Hefner didn't know how well his concept magazine would be received, especially in the beginning, so the print run for the first issue was only about 50,000. Lot Amendments Condition: Exceedingly great condition with bright white covers, with zero soiling, and noly the slightest touch of rubbing at spine tips, and front wrapper corners with tiny faint creases; fine. Graded as near-mint-to-mint. Item number: 241986
