Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7; Graded (9.8): $30 - $50
Recent Sales
Often sold in bulk lots for $1-$3 per issue. Individual high-grade copies rarely exceed $10 unless professionally graded.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current market value of the book. High supplies and low demand for mid-run 90s Valiant titles make this a 'reader' or filler copy.
Notable Features
Standard direct edition with price ($2.25) and Valiant logo box. Not a key issue.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1994 original. Printing quality, color saturation, and the specific Valiant trade dress (logo and corner box) are consistent with legitimate copies from this era.
