Estimated Market Value

Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading in this condition. The foil cover is highly prone to showing every imperfection; the visible spine stress likely keeps this in the 7.0-8.0 range, where grading costs would exceed the value increase. Needs a high grade (9.6+) to be worth the slab fee.
Notable Features
Red foil embossed cover; Blue/yellow price box. Key first appearance of Spider-Man 2099. Direct Edition.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Features the standard 1992 Marvel paper stock and unique embossed red foil border which is difficult to replicate. Gloss and ink density are consistent with early 90s Marvel production.
