Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the current raw market value of the book. Grading is only recommended if the owner seeks long-term preservation for a personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the 'X-Men Deluxe' imprint marking. Includes a 'Direct Edition' barcode on the front cover. Notable for Chris Bachalo's distinctive early 90s art style and the early development of the Generation X roster.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. High-gloss cover stock typical of Marvel's 1990s 'Deluxe' line. Correct barcode (Upper right digit '1' indicates first printing). Standard two-staple binding appears tight and original.
