Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for mid-grade copies range between $2 and $6. High-grade (9.0+) copies occasionally reach $10-$15 in raw condition.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (approx. $25-$40) far exceed the market value of a mid-grade issue from this era. The price sticker further complicates the grade unless professionally removed.
Notable Features
Black and white interior; part of Marvel's magazine line; features a 'Direct Edition' UPC barcode which was standard for comic shop distribution at the time.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel magazine from 1994. Paper stock is standard magazine quality. Check for the price sticker adhesive residue if attempting to clean.
