Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible glare from the polybag makes a perfect assessment difficult, but there are multiple small spine stresses (ticks) visible along the left edge. Minor blunting is visible on the top and bottom left corners. The cover gloss appears intact, but there is some possible minor surface scuffing common for 90s gloss paper stock.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00 / Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for individual issues of this series typically fall in the dollar-bin range ($1 - $3) at local comic shops or as part of larger bulk lots on eBay. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear at auction due to low demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic. It is best kept raw in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Includes a logo for the '!mpact' universe. Direct edition with no barcode (features the !mpact logo in the UPC box). Features the female incarnation of the Jaguar.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic. The paper stock, printing quality of the logo, and the specific 'Direct Edition' logo box are all consistent with DC's !mpact line production from 1992.
