The book is sealed in a protective bag and board, showing very minimal wear. Corners appear sharp, spine is clean with minimal to no stress ticks, and cover gloss is well-preserved. No major creases, tears, or staining visible through the sleeve.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5 - $15. Graded (CGC 9.8) value: $40 - $60.
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in Near Mint condition generally sell between $5 and $10 on eBay and at local comic shops.
Grading Recommendation
Given the low raw market value, professional grading (CGC/CBCS) is generally not cost-effective for a 9.2 or 9.4 copy, as the grading and shipping fees would exceed the value increase. Only worth grading if aiming for a verified 9.8 for a personal collection.

Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1990s Marvel paper stock, proper barcode positioning for direct edition, and accurate color separation and ink density consistent with Tim Sale's distinct art style.
