Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stresses along the left edge, corner blunting on the top right, a noticeable vertical crease/bend on the right-hand side of the cover, and some edge wear along the bottom. The black ink on the cover shows typical minor scuffing.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | Graded (9.8): $30 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition consistently sell for under $10. High-grade (CGC 9.8) copies occasionally sell for $40-$60, but market demand for New Universe titles is currently low.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$35) far exceeds the market value of a mid-grade copy of this specific title. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Newsstand edition (indicated by the barcode in the bottom left). Features early artwork by Mark Texeira. Part of the experimental New Universe imprint launched by Jim Shooter.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1987 newsstand copy. Proper paper aging for the era, standard dot-matrix printing visible in the colors, and correct staple placement for a Marvel giant-sized annual of this period.
