Condition Details
Generally well-preserved with a flat cover, sharp corners, and intact spine. There is a price sticker on the upper right portion of the polybag or protective sleeve, but the comic itself appears to have minor corner rounding and light handling wear typical of a mid-to-high grade raw modern book.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5.00 - $15.00. Graded (CGC 9.0/9.2): $30.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for Wolverine #29 in VF/NM condition average around $10 to $15 raw.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally worth professional grading (CGC/CBCS) unless part of a complete run or high-grade submission batch, as the grading and shipping costs would exceed the potential market value increase.
Notable Features
Iconic John Byrne painted or stylized cover featuring Wolverine in his black/brown costume with a red X painted across his chest.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1990s Marvel direct/newsstand era publication characteristics, correct paper stock, coloring, and Spider-Man head box logo in the bottom left corner indicating the Direct Edition variant.
