Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and ticks visible through the bag. General shelf wear along the edges and corners. Minor blunting on the bottom right corner. Bag glare obscures some surface detail, but the cover retains decent color depth.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $100 - $150
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately £5-£10 ($6-$13 USD) in the UK/US markets. Graded 9.8 copies have seen sales in the $125 range reflecting interest in Alan Moore's run.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless it is a guaranteed 9.8. The cost of international slab shipping and grading fees currently outweighs the market value for mid-to-high grade raw copies.
Notable Features
Written by Alan Moore with art by Alan Davis, the duo that redefined Captain Britain for a modern audience. This is a UK-specific Marvel monthly magazine-sized publication, which is more prone to damage than standard US floppies.
Authentication Notes
The 50p price point and Marvel UK branding are consistent with mid-80s British newsstand distribution. Paper stock is standard for the era (mid-grade newsprint interiors). No signs of counterfeit reproduction.
