Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine ticks, slight corner blunting on the top right and bottom left, and minor surface scuffing on the black areas of the cover. The hologram appears intact, though typical for this issue, it may have minor surface scratches not fully visible from the angle.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25 - $45; Graded @ 8.0: $60 - $80; (Note: High grade 9.8 copies command significantly more, often $200+).
Recent Sales
Recent Newsstand copies in mid-to-high grade have sold between $30 and $55 on platforms like eBay. Graded 9.6-9.8 copies fluctuate between $120 and $250.
Grading Recommendation
Generally only worth grading if it is a 9.6 or higher. This copy appears to be in the 8.0 range due to spine stress; grading fees would likely exceed the value added. Pressing could improve the grade slightly if the creases are not color-breaking.
Notable Features
First appearance of Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara) in a 5-page preview. Hologram on cover. Newsstand edition (indicated by the barcode). Gatefold poster by Mark Bagley included inside.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1992 production. The hologram is correctly seated and the barcode (UPC) is consistent with Marvel newsstand distribution from the early 90s. The paper stock for this issue was a slightly heavier cardstock to support the hologram.
