Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5 to 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible glare from the polybag makes a definitive assessment difficult, but there is noticeable blunting on the bottom right corner, slight spine stress, and a small yellow circular sticker on the top right corner of the bag which may hide defects or leave residue. General surface wear and minor edge softening are present.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10.00 on platforms like eBay. High-grade (CGC 9.8) copies range from $45 to $70 depending on shipping and current demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a common modern-era issue with low market demand. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) would exceed the market value of the book unless it was a guaranteed 9.8 with significant sentimental value.
Notable Features
Includes a Captain America 50th Anniversary logo (1941-1991) in the bottom left corner corner. Cover by fan-favorite artist Dale Keown. Features a 'Warning: The Hulk Does Not Appear In This Issue!' blurb on the cover.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s Marvel production. Standard gloss cover stock of the era; industrial staple placement; features the Direct Edition 'Spider-Man head' barcode substitute.
