Condition Report

This vintage FHM May 1997 magazine is in used but presentable condition with visible age and handling wear.

The front cover has strong colour and displays well, with Tina Hobley as the main cover feature. There are visible handling marks, light surface creasing, edge wear and corner wear. A longer visible crease/mark runs down the cover image area, so this should not be sold as mint. The spine looks intact from the side image, with typical rubbing and storage wear. Internal pages shown are bright, readable and generally clean, with light page handling from age.

Overall, a decent vintage copy for a collector, but with obvious used condition wear. Because apparently paper from 1997 did not come with eternal youth. Tragic.

Main Cover Feature

This issue features Tina Hobley on the front cover, promoted with:

“Superminx!”
“Shandies all round with TV’s sexiest barmaid”

This is a strong keyword point for buyers looking for Tina Hobley, 1990s FHM, British TV personalities and classic men’s magazine collecting.

Angie Everhart
Featured in the contents imagery and referenced as “Angie Everhart’s angelic arse” on page 106. For eBay safety, describe as a glamour/model feature rather than going too spicy, because platforms enjoy making everyone dance around normal words like Victorian ghosts.

“The lead singer of Bush sounds off.”

Listed on page 132, tied to football and comedy/Alan Shearer reference.
