Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
Generally sharp corners and vibrant color. Noticeable spine stress ticks along the left edge that may break color upon closer inspection. Slight blunting on the top-right corner. The white background makes minor fingerprints or surface wear more visible.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $50.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $120.00 - $160.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for the Sajad Shah variant range from $35 to $60 for raw copies depending on the exact variant version (Trade vs. Virgin). High-grade graded copies remain steady in the $150 range.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if it is a guaranteed 9.8, as current market premiums for modern 9.4/9.6 copies often barely cover the cost of grading fees and shipping. A 'Press and Clean' service is recommended to address spine indentations before submission.
Notable Features
Retailer Exclusive variant by artist Sajad Shah. Features a 'Virgin' cover style (no masthead/trade dress over the artwork, though the 'The Will of Doom' logo is present). Includes a large roster of Marvel icons: Wolverine, Black Widow, Iron Man, Storm, and Hulk.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel Variant Edition. Features distinctive Sajad Shah signature style at the bottom center and proper Marvel logo/issue numbering in the bottom right corner. Modern glossy paper stock with high-saturation inks.
