Playboy Magazine May 2003 (Torrie Wilson Cover)

This is a physical copy of Playboy Magazine, May 2003 issue, featuring WWE personality Torrie Wilson on the cover. The magazine follows a standard large-format monthly publication size, approximately 8 x 11 inches, printed on glossy paper stock. The cover features a full-color photograph of Wilson in distressed denim-styled attire with pearl accents, set against a dark background. Notable headlines include a Billy Bob Thornton interview, articles on vintage motorcycles, and investigation pieces. Regarding condition, this particular specimen shows significant visible wear. The top edge and corners exhibit fraying, color loss, and minor delamination. There are numerous fine surface scratches and scuffing across the glossy finish, particularly visible in the darker areas of the image. Most significantly, a white square alcohol prep pad is adhered to or resting on the center of the cover, partially obscuring the subject's torso. The spine appears to show stress lines from handling. As an item from 2003, it represents the late-print era of the publication under Hugh Hefner's oversight. The quality is typical of high-volume commercial offset printing from the early 2000s, characterized by high-saturation inks and a distinct 'newsstand' construction using staples and glue binding.
