Playboy To Auction 300 Items

A photograph of a topless Marilyn Monroe is one item to be auctioned at Christies in New York, along with other Playboy items, on the magazine's 50th anniversary. The Monroe photograph, estimated to get $10,000, was the "sweetheart of the month" pix in the 1953 centerfold of the magazine's premier issue, described as a "handbook for the urban male," Britain's ITV reports. Hugh Hefner had bought the previously unpublished shot of Monroe from a calendar company. The first Playboy edition was printed without a date so it could remain on news stands indefinitely. It sold more than 50,000 copies.
