Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Large yellow price sticker adhered to the front cover (significant detraction), visible spine stress/color-breaking ticks, minor corner blunting, and slight surface scuffing visible through the polybag.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for mid-grade copies range from $1 to $5. Higher grade copies (9.4+) sell for $10-$15. Speculative interest in Haven occasionally spikes prices but remains low.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book, especially with the non-original sticker on the cover which would result in a 'Qualified' grade or a lower numeric score.
Notable Features
Includes an appearance by Haven (Radha Dumni). This is a standard 1990s copper-age issue. Features the 'Fatal Attractions' era team lineup.
Authentication Notes
Standard gloss covers and newsprint-style interior typical of early 90s Marvel. No known counterfeits of this issue exist; the sticker appears to be a secondary market retail tag.
