From all research this is a very hard to find magazine, this is a 1952 Movie Pin-ups #2 by Ideal with Marilyn Monroe on the cover. 82 pages broken down into sections such as beefcake, cheesecake, bathing beauties, sweater girls, glamour, and more!
As for condition, the front cover is about 35% attached with a 4" tear in the middle (across "Cheesecake!"), with fraying on the opposite end. The back cover is not present. Pages 77-82 have a top to bottom horizontal fold. Page 40 (Peter Lawford/Kirk Douglas) has a 2" tear. There is a two page spread of Marilyn Monroe's weight tips on pages 76-77, and features on Jane Russell, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse, Lana Turner, and many others. From our research we could not find any comparable sales of this issue in years, so if they are out there, they're not easy to find! Definitely a lower grade copy, but extremely hard to locate, it even pre-dates her famous 1953 Playboy issue!
