Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $15 | Graded 5.0: $35 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in Mid-grade (5.0-7.0) typically sell for under $20. High-grade (9.0+) copies fetch significantly more, but mid-grade remains very affordable.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. It is best kept raw in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
First appearance of the Quintronic Man. 30 cent price variant. Features the '12c' price box style typical of many Bronze Age Marvels. Contains a UPC barcode, designating it as a distribution copy.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1977 original. Paper stock shows appropriate age-related off-white coloring. Printing registration on the 'The Incredible Hulk' logo is consistent with 70s Marvel quality.
