Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if it can achieve a 9.8 grade, as the Tom King run is highly collectible. A 9.4 or 9.6 may only break even with grading costs. Consider a professional press to ensure the highest grade.
Notable Features
First appearance of the Vision's family (Virginia, Viv, and Vin). Part of Marvel's Hip-Hop variant initiative; the cover art is a tribute to Wiz Khalifa's 'Rolling Papers' album cover.
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss finish and distinct orange saturation are consistent with the original 2016 Marvel Hip-Hop variant printing. No signs of restoration or reproductive printing defects are visible.
