Can someone date this for me?

[Dr. Frank]

Anyone have this issue? I need the date of publication.

Unfortunately those back issues only go up to 2004. This issue is from within the last 2 years but I don't know the exact date of publication and can't make it out in the photo of the cover.

One of the articles "Are you a deadly weapon" dates to the august 2007 issue, but the rest of the cover doesn't match yours. So either BB Magazine have different covers around the world at the same time, or that pic is a mock up/fake.

Ok, that cover design is the same kind I got from a Walgreens photo lab. My wife took in an MA picture of me, paid the money to get it processed, and then it was printed it out, and she gave it to me as a b-day present. Walgreens does it with several other magazine brands, too.

That's what I think, anyhow...

I agree. It doesn't seem to match the cover style that BB has been using the past few years.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its a custom photo. Not a true cover.

Haha. That's funny if that's the case. Honestly, in reading it, it's kind of a bad photo, plus "10 Tips From Our Cover Feature" is just bad writing. Magazines don't say "Our Cover Feature" on the cover, they say what the cover feature is. And the "Halliburtons" text at the bottom is amateurish, as well, but that could have been added after the presumable cover was scanned.

For what it's worth, you can see a lot of covers here: http://www.blackbeltmag.com/category/reprints/114

Thanks,

I think that's part of the deal, to keep those "cover features" open for anyone's picture to go on.

[Patrick]

Yeah, exactly.
