Condition & Value

Condition Grade

Near Mint (9.4)

Condition Details

Very minor spine stress likely from handling. Light blunting on the top-right corner. Surface gloss remains high with no visible color breaks or significant creasing.

Estimated Market Value

Raw: $25.00 - $40.00 / Graded (CGC 9.8): $90.00 - $120.00

Recent Sales

Recent eBay sales for the Virgin variant range from approximately $28.00 in raw condition to $115.00 for CGC 9.8 copies.

Grading Recommendation

Worth grading only if a 9.8 is guaranteed. While it is a beautiful modern variant, current market saturation for Magik covers means value only peaks at the highest tier. A professional 'press and clean' is recommended to remove minor spine ticks.

Notable Features

Features Magik on the cover. This specific 'Virgin' variant lacks title/trade dress and was an exclusive release for Comic Kingdom of Canada, illustrated by Elias Chatzoudis.

Authentication Notes

The high paper quality and modern digital printing registration are consistent with Marvel's 2023 production standards for trade exclusives. No signs of restoration or counterfeit nature are present.
