Condition Details
The image shows the comic inside a top-loader or sleeve. Corners appear sharp and the spine looks straight. There are some minor glares reflected on the plastic, but no major color-breaking creases or spine ticks are immediately visible from this distance. Slight blunting possible on the bottom right corner.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (9.8): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Recent sales for raw copies of this 1:25 variant range from $18 to $28. It is not currently a high-demand key issue, so prices remain relatively stable.
Grading Recommendation
Generally only worth grading if it is a guaranteed 9.8 to maximize resale value. In current market conditions, the cost of grading plus shipping may exceed the profit margin for a raw $20 book.
Notable Features
Features the return to the classic 'Legacy' numbering (#287). Notable for the 1:25 Clayton Crain variant cover art depicting Deadpool battling Cable.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with Marvel's 2017 production quality. High-gloss finish and standard modern paper stock. The bar code ending in 751 confirms it is a 1:25 incentive variant rather than the direct cover (711).
