Background on New Mutants, the grade and what drives the price.
Characters
Deadpool first appeared in The New Mutants #98, cover-dated February 1991, created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, as a mercenary hired to kill Cable. The same issue introduced Gideon and Domino (revealed later to be the impostor Copycat). It is the most valuable comic of the early 1990s and the standard example of a Modern Age key.

Key issues
New Mutants #98 (February 1991) is the first appearance of Deadpool, Gideon and Domino (Copycat), by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, two issues before the title became X-Force. It is the most valuable comic of the 1990s. Supply is large, so the market is concentrated at 9.8; newsstand copies, which are much scarcer, and the second printing carry premiums, and several reprints and facsimiles exist.
