Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Price sticker on the upper right cover, minor spine wear, slight corner blunting, and minor surface wear typical of a bagged and boarded mid-grade vintage book.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10; Graded (CGC 8.0-9.0): $25 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar mid-grade condition have sold in the $3 to $5 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to low market value versus grading costs; the cost of encapsulation would exceed the added value of a mid-grade vintage copy.
Notable Features
Direct Edition with UPC box replaced by the Spider-Man head logo, iconic late-80s cover featuring the symbiotic/black costume silhouette looming over the classic red and blue suit.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1980s Marvel newsprint paper stock, correct direct edition box, and standard color separation and ink density for the era.
