Condition Details
Visible '2nd Hand' price sticker on the front cover which may leave residue or damage upon removal; slight blunting on the bottom-right corner; minor shelf wear and light surface scuffing on the gloss; spine appears relatively tight but hidden partially by the bag/glare.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00 / Graded: $15.00 - $25.00 (Market for international editions is niche).
Recent Sales
Recent sales for German 'Heroes Reborn' era Iron Man comics typically hover around 1 to 4 Euros in ungraded condition on European marketplaces.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book. The presence of the adhesive sticker on the cover significantly detracts from the grade unless professionally removed.
Notable Features
Localized German edition. Features the iconic 90s 'Heroes Reborn' art style. Contains the names of Scott Lobdell, Jim Lee, and Ryan Benjamin prominently on the cover.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel Deutschland publication. Correct paper stock for European Panini/Marvel releases of the late 90s; features localized logo ('Die Wiedergeburt der Helden') and price tags consistent with secondary market retail.
