Condition Report

This vintage FHM June 1996 magazine is in used but good readable condition with clear signs of age and handling.

The front cover presents well with strong colour and a clear Gena Lee Nolin cover image, but there are visible surface marks, light scuffs, handling creases and edge wear. There is a noticeable mark/scuff around the lower centre of the cover image area. Corners show minor wear, especially from storage and handling. The spine appears intact from the side image, with light rubbing and wear but no major split visible from the supplied photos.

Internal pages shown are clean, bright and readable, with normal page handling for a 1990s magazine. Overall, this is a solid collector copy, but not mint. Because apparently “vintage” means humans touched it, folded it, stored it, and then expected miracles.

Main Cover Feature

This issue features Gena Lee Nolin on the front cover as part of the Swimsuit Issue, with cover lines including:

“Gena Lee Nolin and the real-life Baywatch babes”
“Swimsuit Issue!”

This is the key selling point for collectors of Gena Lee Nolin, Baywatch-related magazine features, and 1990s FHM issues.
