Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Visible orange price sticker adhered directly to top right cover art; moderate spine stress with color breaking; blunting at corners; visible warping and bag wrinkling that may have affected the cover surface; general shelf wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60. Current state value is minimal due to the adhesive sticker.
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of the complete AoA set or individual issues typically sell for $2-$5 each in higher grade; slabbed 9.8 copies occasionally reach $50.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The price sticker and spine wear significantly lower the professional grade. The cost of grading would exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Final issue of the limited series; death of several Generation Next members; key tie-in to the Age of Apocalypse event; X-Men Deluxe branding; direct edition UPC.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic first printing from 1995. The 'Deluxe' gloss finish on the cover is consistent with Marvel's mid-90s production. No signs of counterfeit reproduction.
