Condition Details
Visible price sticker residue or sticker on the top right corner. Minor spine stress marks. Softness in the bottom right corner. Some surface wear visible through the polybag/mylar reflecting light.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20. Graded (9.8): $120 - $150. As-is (Est 7.5 grade): $15 - $25.
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition sell between $12 and $18. This was a mass-produced issue with millions of copies, keeping raw value low unless in 9.8 condition.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. This specific copy has visible wear and a price sticker on the bag (or cover), and with such high supply, only 9.8 grades carry significant premiums. The cost of grading would exceed the market value of the comic.
Notable Features
Death of Superman (Kal-El). Iconic tattered cape cover. This is the newsstand edition. The story is told entirely through splash pages (one panel per page).
Authentication Notes
Authentic DC product. The '1993 2' in the triangle on the left indicates it is the 2nd part of the Superman titles for that year. Colors and gloss appear consistent with 1990s DC newsstand stock.
