Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $90 - $120
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar condition typically sell for $10. Recent CGC 9.8 newsstand copies have sold between $100 and $130, while mid-grade copies remain under $20.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. While the issue is in decent condition (approx. 8.0), the high volume of supply and lack of major key status mean the cost of grading would exceed the market value of the book. Only recommended if it were a flawless 9.8 candidate.
Notable Features
Marvel 25th Anniversary border cover. Features Klaw as the primary antagonist. Contains a Newsstand UPC barcode rather than a Direct Edition Spidey-head or logo.
Authentication Notes
Standard newsstand production for 1986. Paper stock is standard newsprint. Ink density on the blacks in the title logo and Klaw's shadow effects appear consistent with authentic Marvel printing of the mid-80s.
