Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible glare from the polybag; however, slight blunting is visible on the top right corner. Minor spine stress marks are likely present under the bag. The presence of a price sticker on the bag suggests it has been in a retail environment, but the cover colors remain vibrant with no visible moisture damage or fading.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent sales for raw copies of this mid-90s indie title typically fall between $3 and $12 depending on the platform. High-grade slabbed copies are rare and sell sporadically to niche collectors of 90s 'Bad Girl' art.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would likely exceed the total market value of the book. It is best kept as a 'reader' or a nostalgic collectible in its current bag and board.
Notable Features
Features artwork by Kirk Lindo, creator of Luxura. Marked for 'Mature Readers'. First appearance of this duo in their own self-titled series. Includes price in both USD ($2.95) and CAN ($3.95).
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic original 1995 printing. The cardstock cover gloss and printing style are consistent with Brainstorm Comics' production standards from the mid-90s. No signs of reproduction or counterfeiting are present.
