Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress with color-breaking ticks; significant diagonal crease on the right-hand side of the cover; corner blunting particularly at the bottom right; minor edge wear and surface scuffing visible on the black background.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (9.8): Unknown/Niche (Market for graded 1990s Penthouse magazines is highly specialized and generally limited).
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this issue typically sell for $15 to $25 depending on crispness. This specific condition is at the lower end of that range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (CGC/CBCS) would exceed the market value of the book in this condition. The visible creasing heavily caps the potential grade.
Notable Features
Premier issue of the 'Men's Adventure' spin-off series. Features cover art by legendary fantasy artist Boris Vallejo. Notable for high-tier comic industry talent (Maguire, Texeira) doing mature work.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1995 magazine. Correct $4.95 cover price for the era. Proper UPC placement and 'Not to be sold to anyone under 18' disclaimer.
