This is the nicer of 2 copies I have. A lot of us have been waiting 30 years for this one to catch fire, no? 😆 

thanks for your estimates, and 2 questions: do fingerprint smudges affect the grade, and if so does a C & P eliminate them easily? Thanks again!

If the fingerprints are yours from recently, then there's a good chance a clean will get them out.  If they are older prints, the oils will have set into the paper and getting them out completely isn't guaranteed.  It's worth a shot though...9.2 as is.

Finger prints do effect the grade. Not sure if a dry clean can easily get them off.

Thanks, I kind of noticed them while taking these photos, and now do not want to remove it again to inspect them in case of further contaminating it with incriminating evidence. The cover and pages are a little thicker material than “normal comic newsprint” and the issue really seems to lend itself to showing prints and dents quite easily when illuminated
