Tv Guide Farrah Fawcett Michael Jackson Tribute Issue Appraisal

TV Guide, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson Tribute Issue

This item is a special commemorative issue of TV Guide magazine, dedicated to the passing of two iconic figures: Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. The cover features a prominent black and white portrait of a young Michael Jackson, smiling broadly, taking up the majority of the visible space. Above his image, the 'TV Guide' logo is clearly visible in its characteristic red box with white text. Further up, a banner reads 'FARRAH FAWCETT AN ANGEL REMEMBERED,' and a small color photograph of Farrah Fawcett is visible in the upper right corner. Below Michael Jackson's portrait, the text '1958-2009 MICHAEL JACKSON A TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF POP' is displayed, indicating the magazine was released shortly after his death in 2009. The magazine is encased in a clear plastic protective sleeve, which has holes along the left edge, suggesting it might have been part of a larger binder or collection. The glossy paper of the magazine is visible through the plastic. The overall condition appears good given the protective sleeve, though there are some reflections and distortions from the plastic cover. The item is an 'Editor's Edition' according to text near the bottom left, and a barcode is also visible. The magazine likely consists of multiple pages (not visible), printed in full color and black & white, discussing the lives and careers of both celebrities. This specific issue would have been highly sought after by fans at the time of its release due to the dual tribute.
