Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $60.00 - $80.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition sold for approximately $3.00 to $7.00 plus shipping. High-grade slabbed copies fluctuate based on registry demand but rarely exceed $100.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading and shipping would likely exceed the actual market value of the comic. It is a common 1990s issue with high print volume.
Notable Features
Direct Edition with barcode. This was a quarterly team-up title that replaced 'Marvel Team-Up' in the mid-90s. Features the 'X-Men' logo prominently on the cover as a sales driver.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Features the standard 1990s Marvel paper stock and high-gloss cover finish. Staple placement and 'Direct Edition' barcode placement align with production standards.
