Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible moderate handling wear including a large red price sticker on the top right corner front cover. Minor spine stress, slight corner blunting on the bottom left, and minor production-related edge wear. Gloss remains decent under the local sticker obstruction.
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw); $15.00 - $25.00 (Graded)
Recent Sales
Low demand for individual issues of this series; usually sold in lots where the per-issue price averages under $2.00.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic. The presence of the sticker may leave residue if removed, further lowering potential grade scores.
Notable Features
Final issue of the limited series; features 'newsstand' style barcode and pricing consistent with Alterna's retro-style printing initiative on newsprint paper.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Features Alterna's signature newsprint-style paper stock and a $1.50 cover price. Printing registration is sharp and characteristic of the 2018 run.
