The New Mutants #98 in context
Why collectors care
New Mutants #98 (1991) is the first appearance of Deadpool, plus Gideon and Copycat, and is the defining early-1990s Copper Age key. Deadpool's screen popularity turned it into a blue-chip modern key.
How to identify it
Confirm it is the true first appearance issue, then check the edition: the newsstand copy has a barcode and is scarcer, commanding a premium in high grade, while the direct edition shows a small Spider-Man face in the box.
Common mistakes
This book is heavily counterfeited, especially at the high end, and colors on fakes often look muted or oversaturated. Buy graded, and do not overlook the newsstand-versus-direct distinction.
Grade considerations
As a 1991 book, high print numbers make it common in mid grade but genuinely scarce in top census grades with white pages. Newsstand copies in high grade are the premium tier.
