Playboy Magazine April 1999 Issue (Sable Cover)

This is a vintage edition of Playboy magazine, specifically the April 1999 issue. The cover prominently features WWF wrestling star Sable (Rena Mero) wearing a black lace-up latex or PVC catsuit. Physically, the magazine is a standard softcover format with a glossy finish. The color palette is dominated by the red masthead, black and red typography, and a white background. Notable features include articles on 'Spring Break,' 'The Art of the Big Bike,' and interviews with David Schwimmer and Nick Nolte. In terms of condition, there is visible wear consistent with its age. The top left corner shows light creasing, and the bottom right corner has a noticeable bend or dog-ear. The edges exhibit some minor fraying or shelf-wear, particularly along the spine. There is a standard retail barcode and a price marking of $4.95 in the lower right corner. This issue is significant for its crossover during the height of the professional wrestling 'Attitude Era.' The printing and color registration appear consistent with late-90s high-volume publication standards, showing both the durability and the age-related degradation typical of period periodicals.
