Condition Details
The magazine is still in its original factory polybag, which protects the surface. However, there is some visible rippling of the bag and light edge wear potentially caused by the tight plastic. Slight corner blunting is likely present under the polybag.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (Sealed): $10 - $20; Graded (CGC 9.8): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Recent sales for sealed copies of Wizard #35 range from $12 to $18 on eBay. Graded copies rarely come to market as the cost of grading often exceeds the value of the magazine.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. Magazines are expensive to grade and the 1990s Wizard issues do not currently command a significant premium unless they are high-end investment pieces like Issue #1 or special chromium variants.
Notable Features
Includes factory-sealed coupons, trading cards, and a potential 'Free Comic' incentive mentioned on the polybag header. Prominent features include a guide to Wolverine and George Pérez. Prophet cover by Stephen Platt.
Authentication Notes
The magazine appears to be in its original 1994 authentic factory polybag with the specific blue and green header card ('FREE COMIC AND CARD!'). No signs of tampering or re-sealing are evident.
