Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress ticks, slight corner blunting, protected within a polybag and board which preserves the cover gloss, but minor edge wear is present along the top and bottom edges.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $5.00, Graded (CGC 9.0/9.2): $25.00 - $40.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies generally sell in the $2 to $5 range depending on platform and shipping costs. Graded high-grade copies (9.6/9.8) command slightly higher collector interest due to the 90s era Heralds of Galactus storyline.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS) as the cost of grading and shipping would exceed the current market value of a 9.0 copy. Best kept as a raw reader copy.
Notable Features
Direct edition with UPC barcode box showing issue 80, part of the Ron Marz Silver Surfer run featuring heavy cosmic character involvement.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1990s Marvel newsprint/glossy cover stock, correct publisher logos, and standard barcode box placement for a direct market issue.
