Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stresses along the left edge, slight blunting on the bottom left corner, and minor surface wear and edge softening typical of 90s semi-glossy cardstock.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10 in online marketplaces. Low market demand for this specific 90s indie title.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx $25-$40) exceeds the market value of the book in this estimated condition.
Notable Features
Features the 'Eat This' branding on the character's wristbands, characteristic of mid-90s 'extreme' character designs. Features no UPC on the front cover, typical of Image Direct editions of that era.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1996 printing. Correct Image logo placement from the mid-90s period and typical paper stock aging for books of this era.
