FWIW: I own that issue.

My father was an original Playboy Club member (though he did settle when they started closing clubs and there was the lawsuit) and he gave me his membership key (w/ member # engraved) & the metal membership card (w/ membership #, naturally), as well as the first 10 years worth of issues.

Inspired by the OP I was off to the cloud and found that there was a set of unpublished MM photos taken by PB at the time of the original session. They are kind of cute.

You’ve got 185000.1957888 viruses? How does one get 15296/78125 of a virus?

PLAYBOY didn’t shoot those pictures; they were shot, like, a decade earlier and used in a car parts calendar long before Marilyn was famous. In fact, PB was four or five issues in before any of their gatefold models or photographers knew that that magazine was where the pics would wind up (Hef just bought whatever cheesecake photos freelancers were passing around for the first few issues).

There were some rocky months before Hef could afford to hire staff photographers. Models were similarly out of reach; it’s telling that Hef had to get a girl from his steno pool to be “Playmate of the Month” three times before he could reliably hire real/aspiring models for the gig.

You need Edgar the Virus Hunter. Or maybe just take a shotgun to your compy.

Some dude selling tempeh burgers in Fort Collins came up with that number, I think.
