Estimated Market Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD
Recent Sales
Copies in similar condition often sell in bundles for $5; higher grade copies of this specific cover trade for approximately $20-$30 due to the Dragon Ball FighterZ appeal.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The heavy cover creases and magazine format would result in a very low grade, and the cost of grading exceeds the market value.
Notable Features
Features a Dragon Ball FighterZ cover story prior to the game's 2018 release. This is a magazine, not a standard comic book, but is collected by gaming and anime enthusiasts.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Game Informer issue 293 with matte finish cover and standard saddle-stitched binding. Print quality is consistent with late 2010s mass-market publications.
