Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
The book shows significant wear including a heavy vertical fold or subscription crease down the center, visible blunting on all corners, multiple spine stress ticks, and general surface loss/scuffing. The polybag it is stored in is heavily wrinkled, suggesting the comic underneath has suffered similar handling stress.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00 / Graded 9.8: $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-grade raw copies are typically found in 'dollar bins' at local shops. High-grade (CGC 9.8) copies sporadically sell for approximately $50 including shipping.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading ($25+) far exceed the market value of a mid-grade copy from this era. Even in perfect condition, the ROI is low for this specific issue.
Notable Features
Features the 'Heroes Reunited' branding. Newsstand edition with barcode on lower right. Part of the Jim Lee/Rob Liefeld 1990s reboot era of Marvel.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s Marvel production. Features the standard glossy cover stock and newsstand barcode typical of the mid-to-late 90s. The 'Marvel Comics' logo and price box are consistent with October 1997 trade dress.
