Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading ($25+) exceeds the current market value of the comic. The issue is a reprint of Ghost Rider Vol. 2 #81, which limits its investment potential.
Notable Features
Features a newsstand barcode (UPC); part of a series that reprinted late Bronze Age Ghost Rider stories to capitalize on the 1990s Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) craze; iconic 80s artwork by Bob Budiansky.
Authentication Notes
