Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition have sold for approximately $2.00 to $5.50 plus shipping. Graded copies of this specific mid-run issue are rare as the cost of grading typically exceeds the market value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. While the condition is high (estimated 9.0+), it is not a high-value key issue. The cost of CGC/CBCS fees would far exceed the market value of the comic.

Final year of the Vol. 1 run; features appearances by Power Girl. This is the Direct Market edition with a graphic logo in the UPC box.
Authentication Notes
Authentic original printing. Features standard DC glossy paper stock from the early 90s, original 1.00 USD price point, and correct staple placement for this era.
