Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5) to Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks) along the left edge, several of which appear to break color. Minor blunting at the bottom left corner. Some surface scuffing and light creases visible on the black areas of the cover, likely exacerbated by the polybag or storage pressure.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10 / Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar condition typically sell for $3-$8 plus shipping. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $45-$55 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40 plus shipping) exceeds the current market value for a mid-to-high grade raw copy. It would only be financially viable if it were a guaranteed 9.8, which the visible spine ticks preclude.
Notable Features
Features a team-up with Iron Fist; Direct Edition with barcode; part of the early 90s ad-heavy era of Marvel.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1993 Marvel gloss and paper stock. The 'Direct Edition' barcode and price box layout are consistent with official distribution for the time.
