Recent Sales
Recent raw copies typically sell for cover price or slightly above ($3-$5) in bins or as part of lots. Graded 9.8 copies have a low sales volume due to the high cost of grading relative to value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a standard issue from a high-print run era with no major key attributes. The cost of grading would exceed the final market value of the book.
Notable Features
Includes the 'Cable' story arc; features Wolverine vs. Cable on the cover; Direct Edition with barcode present.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears to be an authentic first printing with correct paper stock for the mid-2000s, standard glossy finish, and accurate color registration of the Marvel logo and barcode.
