Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears remarkably flat with sharp corners. There is a very slight color rub or minor ink transfers typical of this issue's dark backdrop. Spine looks clean through the plastic with no major color-breaking ticks visible. A price sticker is on the outer bag, not the book.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $150 - $225; Graded (CGC 9.8): $450 - $550
Recent Sales
Recent 2nd printings in raw NM condition have consistently sold between $175 and $240. CGC 9.8 copies routinely reach the $500 mark due to the popularity of the character.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended for grading. As a major modern key (1st Spider-Gwen), the value gap between raw and a 9.8 slab is significant. A professional clean and press would likely secure a 9.6 or 9.8 grade.
Notable Features
First appearance of Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman (Spider-Gwen). First appearance of Earth-65 versions of Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant. The second printing features the distinctive color-swapped logo and border.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel product. The barcode ending in '00212' correctly identifies this as the second printing (00212: issue 002, cover 1, printing 2). Ink density and logo placement match known Marvel print specs for the 2014 run.
