Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0) to Near Mint- (CGC 9.2)
Condition Details
The comic is enclosed in a wrinkled plastic polybag, making it difficult to assess fine surface wear. However, the underlying cover appears flat with sharp corners, minor spine stress, and no major creases or tears visible.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5 - $15. Graded value (CGC 9.2/9.4): $30 - $50.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for modern X-Men Unlimited issues in high grade typically range between $5 and $20 depending on buyer demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading as the grading and slab costs would exceed the potential market value increase for this specific issue.
Notable Features
Direct Edition with UPC barcode box showing $2.50 US / $4.00 CAN pricing.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard Marvel 2000s paper stock, accurate barcode placement, and correct publisher indie logos, though view is partially obstructed by outer plastic packaging.
