Condition & Value

Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks) that may break color, minor corner blunting on the bottom right, and potential surface wear. The cover retains good gloss but shows typical handling wear for its age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7; Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for between $2.00 and $5.00 plus shipping on eBay. Graded 9.8 copies occasionally sell for $40.00 but are not high-velocity items.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (CGC/CBCS) and shipping would exceed the fair market value of the book. It is a common back issue with moderate demand.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic copy from the 1990s. It shows correct paper stock aging (white to off-white), period-accurate ink saturations, and standard staple placement for Marvel's late-90s production.
