DESCRIPTION
A spectacular early-1950s LAFF magazine with one of the strongest pin-up covers we have seen from the period.
The bold green-and-yellow LAFF masthead, red swimsuit image and classic “TV Nudes in England” headline create outstanding 1950s display appeal. Issues of LAFF from this period are already collectible, while examples associated with Marilyn Monroe can command a substantial premium over ordinary issues. Current LAFF listings show typical 1953 issues around $20–$45, while one January 1953 example advertised as Marilyn Monroe is currently offered at $285.
This is exactly the type of vintage magazine that crosses over between Hollywood memorabilia, pin-up collecting and mid-century popular culture.
