Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible corner blunting at bottom left; multiple spine stress marks/ticks visible through the polybag; surface scuffing on the bottom edge; a price sticker is adhered directly to the top right of the comic cover which will cause surface damage/residue upon removal.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.00 to $10.00 depending on condition. High-grade graded copies rarely appear for this specific niche title.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading service (approx $25-$40) exceeds the current market value of the book. Additionally, the presence of the price sticker on the cover would likely result in a lower technical grade or require professional conservation.
Notable Features
Mature Readers label; Kirk Lindo signature/stamp printed on cover; indie press publication characteristic of the 1990s 'Bad Girl' art trend.
Authentication Notes
The glossy cover stock, specific Brainstorm Comics logo, and $2.95 cover price are consistent with mid-90s independent publications. No signs of counterfeiting noted as this is not a high-value blue-chip book.
