Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
The comic is stored inside a heavily wrinkled and creased plastic bag which affects the visual assessment, but visible surface wear includes spine stress marks, minor corner blunting, and slight edge wear along the top and bottom borders.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $1 to $5. Graded value is not recommended for this issue due to low market demand.
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for raw mid-grade copies of this issue range from $1.00 to $3.00 plus shipping.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS) as the grading and slab fees would far exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Direct Edition barcode box with vertical lines, part of a three-part storyline arc.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1990s DC Comics print qualities, standard glossy cover stock, and correct barcode placement for a direct market issue.
