Raw: $30 - $45; Graded (9.8): $150 - $200
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this specific Mark Brooks variant have sold between $25 and $50 depending on sharpness. 9.8 graded copies have scarcity and command a premium.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if a 9.8 is guaranteed after a professional press. The light blue background and white borders are unforgiving for color-breaking ticks. A 9.2-9.4 might not recoup the grading costs.
Notable Features
Mark Brooks 'Animated Style' variant cover. This series is notable for re-establishing Psylocke's status quo following the 'Sisterhood' arc in Uncanny X-Men.
