Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current value of this issue is low, and the presence of the price sticker and spine wear would likely result in a grade below the threshold where professional grading becomes profitable.
Notable Features
Features high-quality painted airbrush art by Denis Beauvais, which was a hallmark of the early Aircel brand. No UPC on cover (standard for Aircel).
