Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
As per the tag, this is a CGC graded 7.0 with white pages. The photo shows the comic in a slab, suggesting it has been professionally graded. Visible surface reflections on the case hide minor defects, but the grade suggests moderate spine stress or manufacturing creases not visible in low resolution.
Estimated Market Value
$30 - $45 (CGC 7.0) / $4 - $10 (Raw)
Recent Sales
CGC 9.8 copies typically sell for $50-$70. Graded copies below 9.0 are rare for modern books as the grading fee often exceeds the book's value. The $40 price tag on the display is consistent with current retail pricing for a low-pop slab.
Grading Recommendation
Already graded (CGC 7.0). Note: Generally, modern comics below a 9.6 grade are not considered 'investment' pieces, but the 'low census' 7.0 grade provides a unique collectible niche as mentioned on the display card.
Notable Features
Featured in the first Predator series published by Marvel after acquiring the license from Dark Horse. Contains a 'Parental Advisory' rating. Features Leinil Francis Yu cover art.
Authentication Notes
