Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
The comic is in a plastic polybag that appears crinkled, but the cover itself shows heavy wrinkling, horizontal stress lines across the middle, blunted corners, and potential staining or moisture damage along the right and top edges. Spine roll and multiple spine ticks are evident.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $2 - $5. Graded value: Not economically viable for grading at this condition level.
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for modern era copper/modern books in lower conditions typically range from $1 to $3.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS). The grading fees would far exceed the market value of the book in its current Very Good condition.

Direct Edition with barcode box containing the 'Direct Edition' text. Features the return of Falcon and part of the popular 1998 Marvel relaunch era.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard Marvel 1990s trade dress, correct UPC barcode for direct market copies, and standard paper stock of the era.
