Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress ticks (some color-breaking), minor corner blunting, slight edge wear along the top, and likely faint tanning on the edges. The cover gloss remains high, but there is a slight wave possibly caused by improper bag storage.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (9.0+): $80 - $120+
Recent Sales
Raw copies in mid-to-high grade typically sell for $10-$20. CGC 9.6 copies have reached $150 in recent years.
Grading Recommendation
Not highly recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of CGC grading ($35+) plus shipping often exceeds the market value of a 7.5 grade copy. A press might bump it to an 8.0, but it remains a common bronze age issue.
Notable Features
Bronze Age key; Features first appearance of Chameleon in the Marvel Team-Up title; iconic cover by Gil Kane; 25 cent price variant.
Authentication Notes
The paper stock, ink saturation, and Ben-Day dots in the yellow masthead are consistent with mid-70s Marvel printing. Staples appear original and show no significant rust bleed.
