Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS fees + shipping) would likely exceed the market value of the book. It is a common 90s issue and not a major key.

Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic 1994 publication. The Direct Edition barcode, Marvel Comics logo placement, and 'K-L' (Ken Lashley) signature on the bottom right are consistent with official printing.
