Recent Sales
Recent individual issues of modern Game Informer magazines typically sell for $5 to $8 plus shipping on platforms like eBay. Bulk lots often lower the per-issue value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (CGC/CBCS) would significantly exceed the market value of the magazine, and the current condition is below investor-grade thresholds.
Notable Features
Features the launch coverage of Blackout, the first Battle Royale mode in the Call of Duty franchise. Does not contain comic book key events like first appearances or deaths.
Authentication Notes
Authentic retail edition; displays standard gloss finish and binding consistent with GameStop distribution from 2018.
