Not recommended for professional grading. The market value for New Universe titles is generally low, and the cost of grading would exceed the final market value of a 7.0 grade copy.

Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1980s Marvel newsstand copy. The newsstand barcode, paper stock appearance, and 75-cent price point are consistent with Marvel's 1987 distribution.
