Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have sold between $45 and $65 in recent quarterly auctions.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless a high level of sentimental value exists. The current condition (approx. 7.0) does not justify the grading costs as the slabbed value would be lower than the cost of the service.
Notable Features
Includes a notable 'Minimalist Issue' cover design; contains the story 'Eenveesible' written by Dan Slott; features the Nickelodeon 'splat' logo; newsstand barcode present in the lower left.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic based on the newsstand UPC barcode formatting, the age-appropriate cream color of the paper stock, and the specific gloss/ink density characteristic of mid-90s Marvel glossies.
