Estimated Market Value
$5 - $15 (Ungraded comic + card combo); $40 - $70 (CGC 9.8 graded comic)
Recent Sales
X-Force #1 with the Cable card frequently sells for under $10 raw due to the massive print run (approx. 5 million copies).
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for grading unless the comic itself is a flawless 9.8 or 9.9. The high volume of existing high-grade copies keeps the market value low relative to grading fees.
Notable Features
First appearance of GW Bridge. Cameo of Deadpool. This specific card features Cable and the team and was one of five different cards randomly inserted into the polybagged first issue.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1991 Skybox/Marvel production. The stock is the standard glossy cardboard used for Marvel Universe Series 2 era cards. Color saturation is consistent with original print runs.
