While newsstand sales of Playboy have been in steady decline for decades, this cover from December 1953 jump-started a cultural revolution of sexual liberation.

Copies of the launch issue are being sold by Christie’s auction house for $1,500. Not bad for a fifty cent cover price.
Do you think this belongs in the Hall of Fame?
