June 1994 Playboy Appraisal

Playboy Magazine, June 1994 Issue featuring Jenny McCarthy

This item is a copy of the 'Playboy' magazine, specifically the June 1994 issue, retailed at $4.95. The physical characteristics indicate a standard magazine size with a glossy paper cover. The cover features a prominent image of Jenny McCarthy, identified as the 'Playmate of the Year', positioned centrally. She has blonde hair and is depicted in a reclining pose, partially covered by white or light-colored fabric, likely satin or silk, which drapes around her. Her hands are visible, resting on the fabric. The overall color scheme of the cover is vibrant, with bold red for the 'PLAYBOY' masthead and various text elements in blue, green, and red. Notable headlines on the cover include 'PLAYBOY INTERVIEWS THE KING OF POP MUSIC GARTH BROOKS', 'WOMEN FIREFIGHTERS PUT SOME HEAT ON YOU', 'THE SORDID CONFESSIONS OF AN INTERNET ADDICT', and 'A SALUTE TO THE WONDERFUL WACKY AGE OF WHINING'. The bottom left corner shows a barcode with the numbers '0' and '300955', along with '733005' and '06'. In terms of condition, there are visible signs of wear and tear typical of an older magazine. The corners appear slightly dog-eared, and there might be some surface creases or scuffs on the glossy finish. The spine, though not fully visible, likely shows some stiffness or minor creasing due to handling and age. There are no obvious stains or significant tears that would severely impact readability or the integrity of the cover. The lack of a visible subscription label or address indicates it was likely purchased new from a newsstand. The printing quality appears consistent with mass-produced magazines of the era, with clear text and image reproduction. The aesthetic aligns with 1990s magazine design, a period characterized by vibrant colors and celebrity focus.
