Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (7.5)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress (visible color-breaking ticks on the left edge), slight softening of the bottom-right corner, and minor surface wear typical of 1990s glossy stock. Edge wear along the top appears minimal.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00 | Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for roughly cover price or in $1 bins. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $45 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value for a mid-to-high grade raw copy does not justify the grading fees ($25+). The visible spine stress likely caps the grade at an 8.0-8.5 even after pressing.
Notable Features
Includes a UPC barcode (Direct Edition). This issue is part of the Alan Davis era of Excalibur, which is highly regarded for its art and multiversal storytelling. Features many alternate versions of established Marvel heroes.
