Offered here is a historically significant April 26, 1946 Family Circle (Volume 28, Issue #17) magazine featuring a teenaged Marilyn Monroe on the cover (Norma Jeane at this point in time). The 20-page magazine remains in excellent condition and has been given an 8.0 grade by CGC. This example remains in excellent condition showing no major creases or blemishes. This magazine was released when she was only 19 years old, well before she became America's "it" celebrity and an icon for pop culture in the 1950s and 60s forever. In the CGC Census, there are only 17 copies (2 restored) of this important magazine. This is the only 8.0 Very Fine graded example, with just six achieving a higher overall grade (not including one restored version).
