Minor spine stress markers visible on left edge. Bottom left corner shows slight softening. Some slight rubbing near the top right edge. Overall flat with vibrant colors and good gloss.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition sold for approximately $5.00. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear on the market due to low demand and common presence in dollar bins.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the market value of the comic. Collectors should keep this as a raw reader copy or well-preserved in a bag/board.
Notable Features
First issue of a limited series. Characterized by the creator's distinct underground/independent art style also seen in his better-known work, Fish Police. Features a direct edition cover with early Adventure Comics branding.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1991 print. Paper stock is consistent with early independent publishers of that era (slightly heavier cover stock than newsprint). Correct staple placement and $2.50 cover price.
