Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and color-breaking ticks along the left edge. Apparent corner blunting on the top and bottom right. Slight color fading on the top margin. Surface scuffing visible on the dark purple ink areas. The comic appears to lay flat.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.0+): $40 - $70. Note: UK Price variants often carry a small premium for specialist collectors but can be harder to move in the general market.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for standard US editions in Mid-High grade range from $8 to $20. UK Pence variants typically sell within the same range unless achieving a high technical grade.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading and shipping would likely exceed the market value of the book in this condition. Best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the 15p UK Price Variant, which was distributed in the United Kingdom simultaneously with the 50 cent US version. It features the 'Spider-Man head' UPC corner box which was standard for direct market/variant editions of this era.
Authentication Notes
The paper stock shows appropriate aging (slight off-white appearance), and the '15p' price stamp is consistent with authentic Marvel UK distribution of the early 1980s.
