Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)

Moderate spine stress and ticks visible on the left edge. The corners show slight blunting, particularly at the bottom left. There is visible surface wear and slight dulling of the finish, which may be exacerbated by the storage bag. No major color-breaking creases are apparent based on the image.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately $5. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $50 range, though demand is lower for non-key issues like #6 compared to #0 or #1.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading and shipping would likely exceed the market value of the comic. The estimated grade is below the 9.8 threshold required for significant value appreciation.
Notable Features
Features cover and interior art by Don Perlin; characteristic 1990s Valiant 'Direct' edition trade dress with no barcode on the front.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic with correct logo placement, typical Valiant paper stock, and correct $2.25 price point. Registration of the red Bloodshot logo and the Valiant compass logo is consistent with genuine print runs.
