Recent Sales
Recent raw sales consistently fall between $2 and $5. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have sold for approximately $45-$55 historically, though demand is low for this specific non-key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (shipping, fees) far exceed the market value of the book in this estimated condition. Graded copies only hold significant value at 9.8 (Mint) levels.
Notable Features
Guest appearance by X-Force members Cannonball and Warpath; tombstone cover motif; direct edition (noted by the graphic in the UPC box).
Authentication Notes
The comic displays standard early-90s Marvel newsprint interior and glossy cover stock. The presence of the 'Corner Box' art and the standard Marvel Comics logo are consistent with internal 1993 production standards.
