Raw (Sealed): $15—$25; Graded (CGC 9.8): $120—$160
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for sealed copies of issue #34 range from $12 to $28 depending on the inclusion of all inserts (Prism cards).

Generally not recommended for grading unless the copy is absolutely pristine (potential 9.8). The cost of grading usually exceeds the raw value for 1990s Wizard magazines, though Jim Lee covers maintain higher desirability.
