Special Cover

A particularly collectible feature is the opening front cover. The standard front presents Sophie Howard, Charlotte Marshall and Lucy Becker, while opening it reveals the full five-model group with Louise Cliffe and Emma Wilson joining the main cover trio.

This opening mechanism appears to remain present and attached in the photographs, making the issue visually distinctive compared with a standard Loaded cover.

From the supplied photographs:

• Front cover retains strong colour and print quality.
• Noticeable edge and corner wear, especially along the right-hand outer edge.
• Some creasing, rubbing and small areas of edge damage/splitting are visible around the outer cover.
