Comic Description

Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress/ticks, minor corner blunting on the top right, potential edge wear on the right side, and slight surface scuffing visible on the black border. The gloss appears moderately intact but shows age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for bulk/bin prices ($0.50 - $2.00). High-grade slabbed copies rarely trade above $50 due to low demand for New Universe titles.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS fees plus shipping) significantly exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. This is generally considered a 'dollar bin' comic.
Notable Features
Features the Newsstand UPC barcode in the bottom left corner. Part of the 25th Anniversary year for Marvel (though not a specific frame cover). No major first appearances or deaths of significant historical impact.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1980s Marvel newsstand stock. Standard newsprint interior with a semi-glossy cover. Staple placement and '75c' price point are consistent with May 1987 publications.
