CGC Universal Grade 9.8 Near Mint Certification #: 4175431001 CGC Page Quality: White Pages Grading Date: 12/23/2022 Publisher: Marvel Comics Issue Date: Feb. 1999 Condition Notes Please review front and back photographs for details on condition (... and please excuse the camera reflection on the CGC case). The CGC case condition is very nice, as was shipped by CGC with no noticeable extraneous scratches. I submitted this in December 2022 and received it back recently therefore minimal handling. Please review the photographs if you are extremely picky about this type of thing. Provenance One owner book, I bought this in 1997 from a local comic book shop, then bagged and boarded it. The comic book has been in storage since then, and only recently was submitted to CGC for grading. Shipping & Handling Free shipping via USPS Priority Mail to continental United States. The CGC slab will be placed between cardboard protectors, bubble wrapped, then placed gingerly into a medium-sized USPS Priority Mail box. Sales are final on all CGC graded and encapsulated comic books. Free Appreciation Comic Book Free Near Mint bagged/boarded unread comic book from the 1990's on all orders. As stated above in Provenance - and like a bunch of comic collectors during the 'comic book boom' (i.e. those years of vastly over printed comic books) - I purchased a bunch of comic books in the 1990's at Local Comic Book Stores (LCS). Most of these books do not warrant getting slabbed by CGC, and they are too much trouble to sell raw, therefore I've decided to give them away on eBay orders. If you read this, and if you care, once you make a purchase then state which comic brand you prefer for your freebie token of gratitude: D.C., Dark Horse, Image (includes an array of labels), Independent, Marvel, Valiant, or Vertigo. If you read this and you don't care than I will select something akin to your purchase.
