Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking creases on the front cover, spine stress ticks, and corner blunting. Significant glare/reflections from the glass frame make a full assessment difficult, but the cover shows moderate wear and surface scuffing.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for approximately $5 on average; CGC 9.8 copies occasionally sell for around $50 depending on buyer interest in technical specs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the market value of the comic in this condition. The issue is a low-value '90s title with limited demand.
Notable Features
32 pages with no advertisements. Volume Nine of a ten-issue limited run. Technical data-heavy art style by Eliot R. Brown, who was Marvel's go-to artist for technical specs and blueprints.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel product from the 1990s. Correct price point ($2.00 US) and logo placement. The paper stock appears to be the standard gloss used by Marvel during the mid-90s 'Direct Edition' era.
