Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of mid-to-high grade in this series typically sell for bulk prices ($1-3) or as part of sets. Graded sales are infrequent due to the high cost of grading relative to book value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic in this condition.
Notable Features
Triangle numbering: 1997 / 5. Direct edition barcode. Features Maxima on the cover in a 'tearing through the page' style art. Notable for being part of the mid-90s weekly Superman continuity.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s DC stock. Features the standard glossy cover stock and interior newsprint/low-grade paper typical of the era. The barcode and DC bullet logo are correctly aligned for the period.
