Recent Sales
Bulk lots of 1990s comic inserts and trading cards frequently sell for minimal amounts ($0.10 - $0.50 per unit). Professional collectors rarely purchase these as stand-alone items unless part of a complete set or 'Key' issue completeness.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the item. It is a promotional advertisement, likely an insert or the back of a trading card/comic, rather than a stand-alone comic book.
Notable Features
Includes a 'Super-Powerful Offer!' for T-shirts. Features iconic early 90s X-Force character designs by Rob Liefeld. This is ephemera often found inside Marvel comics from 1991-1992.
Authentication Notes
Authentic period-correct mass-market printing. Standard cardstock or heavy paper typical of early 90s Marvel promotional inserts. Printing registration shows typical 4-color process dots consistent with the era.
