Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stressors (ticks) along the left edge, several of which appear to break color. Light corner blunting on the bottom right and top right. Minor surface scuffing/shelf wear visible on the black areas of the cover. There is a red '2' sticker on the outer polybag/mylar, not the actual comic.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition typically sell for $5 or less in bulk lots. Higher grade 9.8 slabbed copies occasionally reach $50 due to the popular Adam Hughes cover art.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The fair market value of a high-grade copy does not currently justify the cost of grading fees and shipping, as this is not a major key issue.
Notable Features
Notable for the 'Good Girl Art' style cover by fan-favorite artist Adam Hughes featuring Andromeda. Direct Edition with DC Universe logo. Final issues before the Zero Hour reboot of the Legion of Super-Heroes franchise.
Authentication Notes
Authentic DC product from the mid-90s. Glossy cover stock and newsprint-style interior pages are standard for this era. No signs of restoration or reproduction.
