Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible glare from bag makes full assessment difficult, but there is noticeable spine stress (ticks) near the top left, slight corner blunting on the bottom right, and potential minor surface wear on the dark blue/purple ink areas. The cover appears flat with original gloss preserved.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00 | Graded: $20.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
Very low liquidity. This is an obscure independent title from the mid-90s boom; similar '90s indie #1s often sell in dollar bins or for base shipping costs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of professional grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the market value of the book. It is a niche collectible book that should be kept in a bag and board for personal enjoyment.
Notable Features
Features an 'Image-style' logo popular during the era. Notable for being a product of the 1990s independent publishing surge. Features art by Lito T.P. Jr., who had a distinct underground/indie style.
Authentication Notes
The book appears authentic to the period. The paper stock used for these early 90s indies was often high-acid newsstand grade or thin semi-gloss; this cover shows the typical ink saturation and registration of a small-press production from 1994.
