Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress, slight corner blunting on the bottom left, and minor surface scuffing on the yellow background indicative of shelf wear throughout the die-cut edges.
Estimated Market Value
$15 - $25 (Raw); $60 - $80 (Graded 9.0-9.4)
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $15-$25. Graded 9.8 copies have seen sales range from $150 to $200, but lower grades like 9.0 settle much lower.
Grading Recommendation
Already professionally graded. Based on visible spine ticks, a 9.0-9.2 is likely. Not generally worth re-grading unless a press can remove non-color-breaking surface imperfections to reach a 9.6+.
Notable Features
Iconic yellow die-cut 'claw marks' cover. Includes a special dossier-style interior. 30th Anniversary of the Fantastic Four logo in the corner box. High print run characteristic of the early 90s era.
Authentication Notes
Authenticated by being housed in a professional grading slab. The printing shows correct color saturation and registration for 1992 Marvel newsprint/glossy hybrid stock.
