Vintage Adult Magazine First Issues: The Collector’s Holy Grail
Every great collection begins at the beginning. Our First Issues category is a curated archive of the most sought-after magazines in print history—the elusive Volume 1, Number 1.
From the mid-century launches of the “Big Five” UK titles to rare first editions of US glamour icons, these issues represent the birth of a brand. Whether you are looking for the launch of Fiesta, the premiere of Mayfair, or a rare niche debut, we specialise in sourcing copies that are complete and well-preserved.
Why Collect First Issues?
-
Investment Value: “Number 1” issues historically hold their value better than any other issue in a run.
-
Historical Significance: These issues often feature unique layouts, editor manifestos, and early glamour photography styles that were later refined.
-
Rarity: Many first issues had smaller print runs as publishers tested the market, making high-grade copies extremely hard to find today.
Professional Grading & Discreet Shipping. Because first issues are high-value items, we provide detailed grading for every copy. All orders are shipped in reinforced, unbranded packaging to ensure your investment arrives in the exact condition described.
