Has some normal wear to it. This is from someone who had a subscription, read it once, and then stored it in a smoke free, pet free home. I tried to take pics of everything pertinent in the magazine, it is now stored with inventory until sold. I have hundreds more of these magazines, click on my username and check them and my other items out, I am cleaning out my belongings. This will be shipped in a manilla envelope with cardboard on each side to protect it in transit.
