Condition Grade
Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine ticks, slight corner blunting at bottom left and top right, minor surface scuffing/shelf wear, and edge wear along the bottom. The absence of a price/UPC suggests this may be from a pack or collected edition.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. Near Mint 9.8 graded copies have recently fluctuated between $45 and $55 on auction sites.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS fees + shipping) exceeds the current market value for a copy in this mid-grade condition.
Notable Features
First issue of the X-Treme X-Men series; First appearance of Vargas (a major antagonist for the series); Death of Psylocke (Betsy Braddock) later in this arc.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic Marvel publication from 2001. The absence of the UPC and price box indicates it is likely a 'Direct Edition' or part of a multi-pack distribution common in the early 2000s.
