Condition Details
The comic appears to be in very high-grade condition. There is slight glare from the polybag making definitive inspection difficult, but corners appear sharp. Visible minor spine stress near the upper left Marvel logo. No major color breaks or surface scuffing evident from the photo.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20.00 - $35.00 | Graded (9.8): $75.00 - $100.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for Unknown Comics exclusives of this issue range between $15 and $30 depending on whether it is the A, B, or C variant. Virgin variants typically command a slight premium over trade dress versions.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate. Professional grading is recommended only if the owner is confident in a 9.8 grade to maximize ROI. A press and clean could help mitigate the minor spine stress to push for a top grade.
Notable Features
Exclusive retailer variant (Unknown Comics). Virgin cover (no title/logo trade dress). Art features Rogue in her classic 90s savage land/green and yellow costume style. First appearance of Dr. Stasis (cameo).
Authentication Notes
The artist signature 'SNA' (David Nakayama) and the 'Variant Edition' trade dress on the Marvel logo are consistent with official Unknown Comics store exclusives. Paper stock is the modern glossy standard used for Marvel covers in 2021.
