Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it is a guaranteed 9.8 Candidate. At an estimated 9.4/9.6, the cost of grading and shipping may exceed the profit margin. A clean and press could potentially push it to a 9.8.
Notable Features
Virgin cover (no trade dress/logos), first appearance of the character Deva Lompop, retailer incentive/exclusive art by Mico Suayan featuring Boba Fett in iconic armor.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel modern stock. The high-gloss finish, quality of Mico Suayan's signature reproduction in the corner, and the 'Marvel Alpha Variant Edition' corner box on the trade-dressed copy next to it confirm its origin.
