Grading Recommendation
Not generally worth professional grading costs unless part of a larger submission, as the raw value is relatively low and a 9.2/9.4 would barely cover grading fees, though a 9.8 could yield a modest profit.
Notable Features
Part of the Marvel NOW! relaunch, featuring the return of the Illuminati team dynamic leading up to the 2015 Secret Wars event.
Authentication Notes
Standard modern Marvel trade dress, UPC barcode present with direct edition indicators, paper stock and printing quality consistent with genuine 2013 Marvel publication.
