Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress and color-breaking ticks on left edge; minor blunting of corners; slight wave in the top edge; minor scuffing on the cover surface near the title; interior paper likely showing age-related tanning.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10 USD; Graded (CGC 9.8): $90 - $120 USD (though UK variants can fluctuate in demand).
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. High-grade (9.8) UK variants occasionally command a premium to collectors specialized in international editions, though this is not a major key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading, shipping, and handling would likely exceed the final market value of a mid-grade copy of this specific issue.
Notable Features
Features the 15p UK Price Variant logo; Spider-Man head in the UPC corner box indicates a Direct/Market series distribution for that region; Bronze Age Marvel character development.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1980 copy. The paper stock matches the matte finish and newsprint quality of the period. Color registration is consistent with Bronze Age Marvel printing standards.
