Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible surface wear and scuffing on the bottom black border of the cover. Minor corner rounding. Possible spine stress visible through the protective sleeve. Potential 'binder ring' indentations from the album storage method.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $60; Graded (9.0+): $125 - $200
Recent Sales
Mature variants from Lightning/High-Impact typically sell for a premium compared to regular editions; recent sales for similar 'Bad Girl' crossovers range from $25 to $75 depending on the specific nudity variant.
Grading Recommendation
Not highly recommended for grading unless you are a completionist for Hellina or Double Impact keys. The condition appears somewhat compromised by the binder storage, and the market for 90s indie adult variants is niche.
Notable Features
Features explicit content (Nude Variant). Crossover between two prominent indie publishers of the mid-90s. Heavy focus on 'Bad Girl' aesthetic popular in the Chromium Age.
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss finish and the 'HV' (High-Impact/Vengeance) style logo on the bottom right are consistent with authentic 1996 printings. Paper stock appears to be the standard heavy-weight gloss used for adult variants.
