Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress ticks along the left edge; light corner blunting particularly on the bottom right; minor surface wear and edge softening; potential light tanning to page edges based on age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Ungraded copies typically sell for approximately $5 as part of bundles or back-issue bin finds. High-grade slabbed copies are infrequent but move in the $50 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The grading costs would significantly exceed the final market value of the book, as this issue is not a major key and the visible spine wear would prevent a high grade.
Notable Features
Features the stylized art style of the 90s animated series. Includes the 'Spider-head' logo in the UPC box area, characteristic of Marvel's Direct Market distribution in the late 90s.
Authentication Notes
The comic displays correct period-appropriate cover gloss and typography. The 'Marvel Comics Spider-Man' corner box and 'Feb '97' date stamp are consistent with authentic 1997 Marvel trade dress.
