Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless the comic is near-flawless (9.8 candidate). In current estimated condition (8.0), the cost of grading exceeds the value increase. Pressing could improve the grade slightly by removing minor surface indentations.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The glossy cover stock and 1994-era print registration appear authentic. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting are present based on the visible staple placement and paper aging.
