Condition & Value
Condition Grade

Condition Details
Minor shelf wear visible; slight blunting at the top right corner; minimal spine stress marks that do not appear to break color significantly; cover gloss is well-preserved. Assessment is hampered by the polybag/mylar, but it appears to be a high-grade copy.
Estimated Market Value
$3.00 - $8.00 (Raw); $30.00 - $50.00 (CGC 9.8)
Recent Sales
Recent sales for raw high-grade copies typically fall in the $2-5 dollar bin range. CGC 9.8 slabs occasionally sell for approximately $40-60 to character completists.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of professional grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current market value of the comic. It is a common back issue from the early 90s without significant key status.
Notable Features
Features Sun Boy on the cover. Direct edition (indicated by the lack of a barcode). Part of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths 20th-century Legion of Super-Heroes spin-off.
Authentication Notes
Authentic copper age/modern age transition comic. Correct paper stock for DC in 1991. The DC bullet logo, price box ($1.50 US), and Kitson signature are all consistent with official production.
