Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue typically range from cover price to $6. Graded copies for this specific issue have low sales volume, generally staying under $50.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market value for a modern non-key indie issue typically does not justify the $20-$35 grading fee plus shipping. This is a common reader copy better suited for a personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the 'Born in Blood' tagline. First appearance of several supporting characters in the Vault Comics Barbaric universe. Standard $3.99 cover price version.
Authentication Notes
Standard modern production values by Vault Comics. Modern glossy cardstock cover and high-quality interior paper. No signs of counterfeit concern as this is a relatively recent, widely available publication.
