Description

This illustrated magazine is an old issue of the famous youth periodical "Pif". The very colourful cover features football prominently with an action photograph of a goalkeeper saving a ball during a match, surrounded by players in visible jerseys, one of whom wears the RTL logo. The dominant tones are yellow, red, green, and blue, typical of the 1980s. Several brightly coloured inserts announce the content and exclusives of the magazine.

At the top of the page, a yellow and red banner reads: "LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE" (NEXT WEEK) and a blue insert "GRATUIT !" (FREE!) announces an exclusive for Pif readers: "The superb Foot 84 sticker album + 1 packet". A small visual shows a child handling a sticker album and stickers, reinforcing the promotional aspect related to football and Euro 1984.

At the bottom of the cover, an orange box draws attention to the gadget supplied with the magazine: "Les petits chevaux (Ludo) — Practical and easy to transport", accompanied by an illustration representing a compact Ludo game. This type of gadget was emblematic of the playful and innovative spirit of Pif magazine.

The cover shows visible signs of wear: slightly dog-eared corners, handling marks, colours a little faded in places, testifying to the age of the copy and regular use. The right edge shows a crease or a slight tear at the edge.
