Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Heavy wear visible including multiple yellow price/identification stickers adhered directly to the cover. Significant color-breaking creases across the spine and left side. Heavy corner blunting and visible edge wear. The polybag/sleeve appears wrinkled, potentially obscuring more surface damage.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1 - $3 | Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
High-grade copies (9.8) typically sell for under $50. Raw copies in this condition are common in dollar bins and usually sell for $1 or less due to the high print volume of the 90s.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service ($25+) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic, especially given the sticker damage and heavy creasing.
Notable Features
Features the 1994 Triangle Number 27 on the cover, a system DC used to help readers track the chronological order of the various weekly Superman titles.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears to be an authentic 1994 direct market copy. The matte paper stock and ink density are consistent with DC's standard production for that era.
