Auction History Result 2x030 LOT OF 12 PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINES '50 Liz Taylor, Shirley Temple, Alan Ladd & more! Date Sold 6/19/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Lot of 12 Original Vintage Magazines (each measures 8 1/2" x 10 3/4") (Learn More) a lot of 12 magazines, containing issues ranging from January, 1950 - December, 1950, of Photoplay, the leading movie magazine sold to the public. Each issue features a great full color cover of a leading star of the day, plus lots of interior publicity stories about current stars and movies with many color and black and white images throughout. Also, in every issue are many wonderful vintage ads, some in color and some in black and white, and sometimes the ads can be just as much fun as the original stories and pictures. Of course, some of the ads are from movies that were about to open, and in the early days of eBay, people would remove those full-page ads and auction them by themselves, and they would often sell for $10, $20, or more, just for a single movie ad removed from a magazine just like this! Note that for a brief time in the late 1930s, Photoplay switched to a larger format that measured just under 11" x 14". But apparently this was not as popular with their readers as the regular magazine size, and so they switched back to that size. Also note that during World War II, Photoplay combined with Movie Mirror and for a brief time, the title read "Photoplay combined with Movie Mirror", but then reverted back to simply being called "Photoplay". Important Added Info: Note that we have provided a picture of the front cover of each magazine, a picture of the table of contents page of each, and a picture of interior two-page spreads from two of the magazines (chosen pretty much at random!). These images should greatly help you judge the overall condition of the magazines, and the contents page lets you know exactly what articles and stories are contained in each issue. Please know that these magazines are sealed in bags and are ready for shipping, and we cannot answer any questions about them or look through them for you, so please bid (or do not bid) based on the images we have provided. Condition: very good. All of the magazines have varying degrees of handling wear. Learn More about condition grades
