Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | Graded (9.6+): $35 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for around $5 in average condition. Higher grade (9.8) slabbed copies have sold in the $80 range, but lower grades rarely exceed the cost of grading.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a mid-grade copy of a common 90s title. The cost of shipping and grading would far exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Part of the 'Still the only sequel to Jurassic Park anywhere!' marketing campaign used by Topps before The Lost World film was released. Features Michael Golden cover art, a fan-favorite artist for 90s Topps comics.
Authentication Notes
Standard trade dress and logo placement consistent with Topps Comics early 90s output. No signs of restoration or counterfeit indicators visible.
