The site uses a baseline of 9.4 (near mint) to create its list of the 100 most valuable magazines, and even then states that many of the magazines on the list do not exist in that high of a grade. In fact, Nostomania states it’s unaware of any magazine issue that has ever been graded at a perfect mint 10.0 condition. Before you start building your mansion, know that it’s highly unlikely you have a Playboy – or any magazine – in mint condition.

If you happen to have the first edition of Playboy (V1 #1) featuring Marilyn Monroe in perfect mint condition, it’s worth as much as $316,000. Magazine pricing service Nostomania pegs Playboy as publishing the three most valuable magazine issues in the world. In 2010, another copy of that same issue fetched a $445,000 bid, but the bid didn’t meet the reserve and the sale did not take place. To-date, that stands as the highest price ever paid for a magazine – but that doesn’t make it the most valuable magazine in the world. In 2007, a copy of Beeton’s Christmas Annual 1887 sold at a Sotheby’s auction for $156,000.
