With playboy being important in the American cultural lexicon, I decided to track down previously printed versions to preserve before they became online-only. Luckily, I was able to track down the US versions from the 1950s to 2020.

I'm just seeing if anybody has versions from other countries. In all seriousness, I'm comparing a niche culture/brand through the eyes of multiple societies throughout decades for a comprehensive study (non-fiction/fiction stories, advice columns, advertising, art, etc.), I do admit that the models are just a nice benefit.

I was tempted to make a "for research purposes" joke, but I'm sure everyone here has me covered. I would've offered a reward for the best comment, but those times belong to a bygone era like owning software instead of subscribing for the privilege for us peasants to use a tool.
