Surface soiling, minor staining on the face and cover, spine stress lines, corner blunting, creasing along the edges, and an attached trading card obscuring part of the lower left artwork.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15; Graded: Not recommended for professional grading due to low market value.
Recent Sales
Very few recent sales recorded for this specific independent sports comic series, typically trading in bargain bins or online lots for under $10 raw.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The grading and slabbing fees would far exceed the market value of the comic book, even in high grade.

Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard newsprint paper stock and vintage print quality consistent with early 1990s independent comic publishing.
