Significant diagonal crease across the center of the front cover which appears to break color. Multiple spine stress marks. Corner blunting on all corners. Noticeable surface wear and light reflection suggests heavy handling or storage pressure.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1 - $3; Graded: Not recommended due to low relative value/high fees.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.00 to $4.00 plus shipping. Graded copies of this issue are rare on the market as grading fees often exceed the book's value.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the book, especially in this mid-grade condition.
Notable Features
Includes a triangle icon on cover labeled '1997/6' indicating reading order for the Superman family of titles in that year. Notable for the transition period leading to the Blue Electric Superman costume change.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1990s DC newsprint/glossy cover stock. Authentic period-accurate UPC barcode and DC logo. No signs of counterfeiting as this is a common, high-distribution copper/modern age issue.
