Original September 1980 issue of Playboy magazine, featuring a jazzy Playboy Interview with actor Roy Scheider, the investigative feature “Bunker Hunt’s Great Silver Caper,” an excerpt from a new Tom Robbins novel, and the “Girls of the Southwest Conference” college‑football‑themed pictorial. The issue also includes a Cheech & Chong pictorial, Playboy’s annual college football picks, back‑to‑campus features, and a Marlboro Country cowboy cigarette ad on the back cover, making it a fun snapshot of early‑1980s pop culture and sports. Your copy shows typical vintage wear: spine and edge rubbing, some small cover creases and corner wear, light surface soiling, and age‑toned pages with normal handling, but it appears complete with no intentional cutouts.
