Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible glare from the bag/board makes a precise assessment difficult, but the spine shows minor stress marks and the top left corner has a minor blunt. Edge wear is visible along the left side. Overall gloss appears high.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10 in high grade. CGC 9.8 copies oscillate between $45 and $65 depending on market demand for Turok ties.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you are certain it will hit 9.8. Mid-to-high grade raw copies are plentiful and the grading fees would likely exceed the comic's market value.
Notable Features
Features Turok, Son of Stone. Barry Windsor-Smith cover art. Key crossover issue in the early Valiant Universe.
Authentication Notes
First printing established by the $2.25 price point and Valiant logo style. High-quality semi-glossy paper stock typical of early 90s Valiant 'Pre-Unity' books.
