Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if the comic is a guaranteed 9.8. Mid-to-low high grades (9.0-9.4) for modern variants often yield less than the cost of grading fees. Professional pressing and cleaning are recommended before submission to maximize grade.
Notable Features
Virgin variant (no trade dress/titles over art). This is a store exclusive variant featuring iconic art of the core X-Men team by Yasmine Putri.
Authentication Notes
The high quality of the gloss, the specific Putri art style, and the inclusion of the 'X-MEN' logo in a 3D block font over a virgin background are consistent with official Marvel retail exclusives.
