Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $6; Graded (CGC 9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent sales show raw copies consistently selling for cover price (~$3.99) or slightly above. Graded copies have low sales volume due to the high cost of grading relative to market value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (approx. $30+) exceeds the current market value of the book. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the 'Five Lights' team: Laurie Tromette (Transonic), Gabriel Cohuelo (Velocidad), Idie Okonkwo (Oya), Teon Macik (Primal), and Kenji Uedo (Zero). Notable for the Rod Reis artwork which pays homage to classic X-title covers.
