Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress ticks, minor blunting on the lower-left corner, slight edge wear along the bottom. The cover gloss appears intact but shows typical handling wear for its age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales of raw copies have averaged between $2 and $5 on secondary markets. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear but typically sell for the cost of grading plus a small premium.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The current market value of a high-grade copy does not justify the fees associated with CGC/CBCS grading. Best kept as a reader copy or in a bag/board for a set collector.
Notable Features
Features a guest appearance by Vanguard. Key part of the early Image Comics expansion of the Savage Dragon universe.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 1990s Image Comics production standards, including the glossy cover stock and typical staple placement. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting.
