Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Heavy wrinkling and creasing of the entire plastic bag and cover, potential moisture damage or severe improper storage, heavy edge wear, blunted corners, and spine stress ticks.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $1.00 and $5.00 due to heavy condition flaws.
Recent Sales
Copies in higher grades (VF/NM) typically sell for $5 to $15, while heavily flawed or damaged copies like this raw specimen usually command minimal value under $5.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The grading and slab fees would far exceed the market value of the book in this lower grade condition.
Notable Features
Direct Edition featuring the Fox Kids Network logo and a '1st Issue All-New Stories in an Exciting New Season' banner.
Authentication Notes
Standard Marvel Comics layout and direct edition barcode box for the mid-1990s period. No obvious signs of modern counterfeiting, though heavily compromised by environmental storage issues.
