Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value of a mid-to-high grade raw copy does not outweigh the costs of grading (approx. $25-$40 + shipping). A professional press could resolve the paper waviness, but it remains a common 90s issue.
Notable Features
Features a classic team-up with the Hulk. Marked as a 'Direct Edition' indicated by the barcode box illustration. Part of the popular Mark Bagley run on Amazing Spider-Man.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. Features correct 'Direct Edition' UPC layout for 1993, accurate logo color saturation, and standard newsprint/gloss cover stock typical of Marvel's early 90s production.
