Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
The cover shows excellent color vibrancy and gloss. Minor blunting is visible on the bottom right corner. Very slight spine stress marks and a small possible tick near the upper-left corner of the character's hair area. Edges appear sharp overall with no visible tearing.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00 | Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of late-run Ultraverse titles typically sell for single-digit prices in bundles. High-grade slabbed copies are rarely seen at auction due to low demand and high submission costs relative to value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. While the condition is high (approx. 9.0+), the current market value for this issue does not justify the grading fees, as the cost of CGC/CBCS services exceeds the total market value of the book.
Notable Features
Features a cover appearance by Rafferty, a recurring assassin in the Ultraverse known for hunting down 'Ultras'. Includes the Ultraverse 1st Anniversary stamp on the bottom right.
Authentication Notes
The book appears authentic with correct Malibu/Ultraverse logo placement, price point ($2.50), and paper stock consistency for the mid-90s era. Color registration is sharp.
