Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book unless it is a guaranteed 9.8, and even then, the profit margins are slim.

Features early Chris Bachalo artwork which defined the 90s aesthetic of this series. Contains the 'X-Men Deluxe' branding prevalent in mid-90s high-end Marvel books with glossier paper stock.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Displays correct Direct Edition barcoding, 1995 price point ($1.95), and industry-standard paper aging for the mid-90s period.
