About the Magazine: This German Bravo teen weekly magazine was produced in May of 2009 to be circulated throughout Germany and other surrounding European Countries. This particular magazine was discovered as part of a collection, this past year in Paris France. The magazine itself was originally purchased by a young French man in 2009 at a train station in Paris. The same train station he purchased all of his German Bravo Magazines each and every Tuesday, until February of 2015. That particular Paris train station stopped carrying the German Bravo magazines in 2015 due to lack of interest in physical magazines and shrinking distribution. On his Tuesday visits to the train station, he would buy at least 2 copies each time, one to read and one to keep. This magazine has never been read. He kept all of his Bravo magazines neatly stacked and in meticulous condition until he decided to sell his collection in 2024. That is when cardboardportfolio took the opportunity to invest in the collection. Now, rare pieces of this incredible collection can be yours.
About the Cards: Each of the Bravo cards featured in the magazine insert has an artist on the front as well as another artist on the back. The Taylor Swift card features Kelly Clarkson on the back. Not only is the Taylor Swift card among her first few cards ever produced, but other cards are special as well. The Lady Gaga card included in this magazine is, to our knowledge, the first ever known card of her.
Rarity: Complete Bravo Magazines with card inserts of relevant interest are becoming very scarce and rarely appear for sale.
