Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress ticks; substantial corner blunting and whitening on the bottom left corner; visible edge wear along the bottom and spine; some surface scuffing on the black ink areas; possible minor thumb creasing on the right edge.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for mid-grade copies are typically found in 'dollar bins.' High-grade (9.8) slabbed copies occasionally sell in the $40 range but have low liquidity.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service ($25+) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic, even in pristine condition. This specific copy has too many visible flaws to achieve a high investment grade.
Notable Features
Features the signature 90s 'Image' art style of co-founder Whilce Portacio. Includes characters like Dane, Grail, and Mother-May-I.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1995 Image Comics publication. Gloss levels and paper stock are consistent with standard mid-90s mass-market comic production.
