Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (9.0+): $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition generally sell for around $5. High-grade slabbed copies rarely exceed $50 due to high supply and low key-issue status.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the current market value of the book. It is a common 'dollar bin' era comic unless in a perfect 9.8 condition.
Notable Features
Early appearance of Random; Polaris cover art; contains a barcode in the bottom left indicating a Direct Edition; 30th anniversary era of X-Men.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1990s Marvel newsprint/glossy cover hybrid stock. Color registration appears accurate. Staple placement is correct for the era. No signs of counterfeiting as this is not a high-value targets for forgers.
