Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)

Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $25 | Graded: $40 - $60 (Niche appeal)
Recent Sales
Very low liquidity. Comparable independent Brazilian comics from the mid-80s typically trade within the $15-$30 range depending on the specific underground collector interest.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a niche independent Brazilian publication with limited global market demand. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would likely exceed the final market value of the book.
Notable Features
Rare Brazilian independent (Fanzine/Indie) publication. Distinctive '12 Cruzados' price point or era-specific markings common to mid-80s Brazilian issues. Stylized logo and 1985 date next to artist signature.
Authentication Notes
Authentic mid-80s newsprint quality. The ink saturation and specific paper aging are consistent with the era of South American independent press. Staple alignment reflects the lower production budget of indie publishers.
