Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if it is a guaranteed 9.8 candidate. A professional clean and press is recommended to ensure the highest grade as modern 'Virgin' variants lose significant value below a 9.8 grade.
Notable Features
Features high-detail 'Virgin' cover art by Artgerm (no masthead or trade dress). Key for MJ and Black Cat collectors. Set during the Beyond Corporation storyline.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel variant. Correct paper stock gloss and Artgerm's signature digital painting style is evident. No signs of color fading or printing errors.
