We only got one copy, but p. 5 explains that, because of the cover story (“50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs …”), they published the issue w/ 4 different covers. I can’t remember the details, but if my memory is correct, they or another popular magazine did the same thing a few years ago.

Hello:

We received two versions of issue 1172/1173 dated Dec. 20 2012 & Jan. 3, 2013.  Cover "teasers" are the same--verbatim.  One has Jay-Z on the cover, the other has Eminem.  Anyone else experience this?  Do I just pick one to put on display?

Thanks in advance--never seen the exact same, but different issues.
