Condition & Value
Condition Grade

Condition Details
Visible spine stress ticks (some color-breaking), minor corner blunting at bottom left and top right, edge wear along the top periphery, and slight surface scuffing visible in the light on the purple header area.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $75 - $100
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies sold for approximately $8.00 - $12.00 on eBay. High-grade slabbed copies are infrequent but generally trade under $100.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The current market value does not justify the grading fees ($25+) as the book is not a major key and the condition appears below a 9.8 threshold.
Notable Features
Includes the first chapter of the 'Cold War' Predator story arc. Features an iconic Predator cover by Dave Dorman. This is the direct edition (no barcode on front).
Authentication Notes
Genuine 1990 Dark Horse printing. Features the correct 'Horsehead' logo and price variants ($1.95 US / $2.35 Canada) for the period. Paper stock correctly exhibits the semi-glossy finish typical of early 90s Dark Horse anthology books.
