Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a common back-issue and the estimated grade (mid-to-high VF) would result in a market value lower than the cost of the grading fees ($25-$40+). Grading is only economically viable for this specific issue if it is a guaranteed 9.8.
Notable Features
Direct Edition (Spider-Man head in UPC box). Features the 'Lost in Space-Time' story arc. Iconic 80s Marvel cover art by Al Milgrom.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1987 newsprint-era comic. Consistent paper aging for copper-age Marvel books, correct logo placement, and standard 75-cent price point. No signs of reproduction or counterfeiting.
