Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for cover price or slightly above in bulk lots. Newsstand editions carry a very minor premium over direct editions for this specific era.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The fair market value in this condition does not justify the grading fees, as this was a mass-produced issue during the 1990s speculator boom.
