There is also a distinct large crease on the bottom right and general dulling of the cover gloss.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (as-is): $5.00 - $12.00; Graded (CGC 2.0): $25.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
The value of this issue is relatively low due to its condition and it not being a major key. Near Mint copies (9.4+) typically sell for $100+, but low-grade copies usually sell in dollar bins or lower-tier auction lots.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (fees plus shipping) would exceed the final market value of the comic in this specific condition.
Notable Features
Includes a title change on the cover to 'Daredevil and the Black Widow.' Features Black Widow in her iconic 70s look. 20-cent cover price variant.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1972 copy. The paper age (visible at the edges) and the specific wear patterns on the newsstand-style paper stock are consistent with the period.
