Recent Sales
Recent raw sales range from $2 to $10 plus shipping on secondary markets. High-grade slabbed copies infrequently appear due to the high cost of grading relative to value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (shipping, fees, and handling) would significantly exceed the final market value of the book. It is a common 1990s issue that has not yet reached 'key' status.

Anniversary issue with expanded page count. Part of the multi-title 'Time and Time Again' storyline. Features the Direct Edition UPC barcode. First appearance of various alternate reality versions of the team.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1994 Marvel Direct Edition. Correct 'Modern Age' gloss, standard staples for the era, and period-correct Marvel advertising on the back cover. Ink density is consistent with copper/modern age transitions.
