Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for approximately $5 on secondary markets. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently realized prices between $40 and $55.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. This is a common copper/modern age issue with a moderate market value. The cost of grading (approx $25-$35) plus shipping would likely exceed the final market value of the book unless it were a guaranteed 9.8, which this copy's spine wear precludes.
Notable Features
Part of the 'Clone Saga' era; features Kaine and Scarlet Spider; Direct Edition UPC barcode in the lower right corner.
Authentication Notes
The book appears authentic with correct 1990s era glossy cover stock, standard Marvel staple placement, and accurate color registration typical of the mid-90s 'Direct Edition' printings.
