Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Visible minor spine stress ticks that may break color, slight corner blunting at the top right, and minor edge wear consistent with handled modern comics.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies frequently sell for cover price or slightly above ($4-$8) on secondary markets. 9.8 graded copies have seen a decline from peak 'King in Black' hype levels.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of grading (approx $35+) exceeds the raw market value, and the current condition is likely below the 9.8 threshold needed for value appreciation.
Notable Features
Legacy numbering #194. Features a Ryan Stegman variant cover depicting a classic high-detail Venom. Part of the critically acclaimed Donny Cates run.
Authentication Notes
Authentic modern Marvel stock. Correct trade dress for the 2020 variant series, proper UPC barcode suffix '02931' indicating issue 29, variant cover 3, first printing.
