Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current market value for this specific mid-to-high grade issue. It is a common 90s issue without a major key first appearance.
Notable Features
Features the Newsstand Edition barcode. Significant for the 'Brother vs. Brother' conflict between Cyclops and Havok.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic based on the correct paper stock for the era, the look of the 'Comic Code Authority' stamp, and the specific Newsstand UPC barcode placement and font which matches Marvel's 1996 distribution standards.
