Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. The image provided is a digital mockup/stock image from mycomicshop, so actual physical defects like corner blunting or tanning cannot be assessed without high-resolution photos of the physical copy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded 9.8: $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.99 to $9.00. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies occasionally sell for around $50.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS submission (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the market value of the book unless it is a guaranteed 9.8 and has sentimental value.
Notable Features
First issue of a 4-part limited series. Notable for being part of Marvel's experimental phase using fully 3D computer-generated imagery (CGI) for the interior and cover art.
Authentication Notes
The image shown is a stock photo from an online retailer (mycomicshop). To authenticate a real copy, check for the glossy cardstock cover typical of early 2000s Marvel limited series and the specific 'printed in the USA' indicia on the first page.
