Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The comic appears to be in excellent condition with high gloss and sharp corners. There is a very slight hint of spine stress near the bottom staple and minor blunting on the bottom right corner as seen through the bag. Bag reflections obscure some surface details, but no major colour-breaking creases are present.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (CGC 9.8): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for approximately $12-15 on eBay. Graded 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $70 range depending on current market demand for 'No More Mutants' storylines.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it is a guaranteed 9.8. This specific copy looks like a strong 9.4 or 9.6 candidate; professional pressing could potentially push it to a 9.8 if the spine ticks are non-color breaking.
