Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress marks visible on the left edge with minor color breaking. Slight corner blunting on the bottom right and top left. Minor surface rubbing on the black ink sections and light edge wear. Overall good gloss and vibrancy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00 | Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.00 to $6.00 plus shipping. Graded copies of this specific run rarely appear on the market due to low value relative to grading costs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the current market value of the comic. It is best kept in a bag and board (mylar preferred) for personal collection.
Notable Features
Includes a UPC barcode with 'Direct Sales' branding. This was part of DC's short-lived mid-90s license of the 2000 AD character to coincide with the Stallone film.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic with correct 1990s DC paper stock and ink density. The 'Direct Sales' barcode indicates it was sold through a comic specialty shop rather than a newsstand.
