Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge; slight corner blunting on the bottom right; minor surface wear on the gold foil logo; small price sticker on the protective bag (not the comic itself, but affects visibility); overall flat and glossy with nice colors.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific issue range from $4.99 to $18.00 depending on condition. Graded copies of mid-90s 'Bad Girl' comics fluctuate based on nostalgia demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC submission likely exceeds the market value of the comic. It is a mass-produced 'Bad Girl' era book from a small publisher with limited investment growth potential.
Notable Features
First appearance of Jazz and China. Features an embossed gold foil logo, which was a very common marketing gimmick for No. 1 issues in the mid-1990s. This book is part of the 'Bad Girl' comic movement of the era.
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss cover and gold foil application are consistent with High-Impact Studios production standards of 1994. No signs of reproduction or counterfeiting observed; the aging on the paper edges seen through the bag is typical for this type of cardstock.
