Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
Moderate vertical bowing/warping common to foil covers from this era; minor blunting on top right corner; slight edge wear along the bottom; spine appears tight with minimal visible stress ticks.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (CGC 9.8): $100 - $130
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies in similar condition range from $18 to $30. CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $115 range.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it can achieve a 9.8. Currently appears to be a 9.4-9.6. A clean and press could resolve the foil bowing, but the cost of grading may exceed the value of the raw book unless it is a sentimental keeper.
Notable Features
30th Anniversary Gold Foil cover; first appearance of Anne Weying (who later becomes She-Venom); notable for the truce between Peter Parker and Eddie Brock.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with the 1993 production; gold foil embossing shows correct depth and shimmer; paper stock appears to be the standard semi-gloss of that period.
