Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. This is a trade paperback (TPB) rather than a single issue comic; it carries low collector value in this condition, and grading costs would exceed the book's value.
Notable Features
Collects the first appearances of the modern Guardians of the Galaxy team roster that inspired the MCU films; includes a '15% Off Canadian Cover Price' sticker variant.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel Trade Paperback. Print registration is sharp; cover gloss is visible despite wear; binding appears consistent with mass-market softcover production.
