Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
The comic is presented inside a polybag, which is heavily wrinkled and shows a prominent vertical seam and horizontal red tape/seal. This obscures the cover details. There is visible corner blunting on the bottom right and potential spine stress hidden by the packaging. The polybagging itself is the primary condition issue interfering with assessment.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (with card): $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $60 - $80
Recent Sales
Recent sales for sealed copies with the SkyBox card average around $10. Prices have remained flat due to high supply from the early 90s boom.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless a high 9.8 is guaranteed. The cost of grading typically exceeds the market value for this issue, even with the included trading card.
Notable Features
Polybagged edition containing a 'Shattershot' SkyBox trading card. Features a Captain America 50th Anniversary 'A' logo in the corner box. This was part of a company-wide crossover event through the 1992 annuals.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an original 1992 factory-sealed polybagged edition. The SkyBox card is visible at the bottom, which is consistent with the mass-market release. No signs of tampering or re-sealing are immediately apparent.
