Condition Details
The comic is encapsulated in a CGC slab with a grade of 9.2. White Pages noted. Visible minor spine stresses and slight corner wear that likely kept it from a higher 9.6/9.8 grade.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25 - $35; Graded (CGC 9.2): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Recent sales for CGC 9.2 copies of this specific remastered sketch variant hover around the $70 mark, though 9.8 copies command significantly higher premiums near $150.
Grading Recommendation
Already graded by CGC at 9.2. Given the current market for modern 9.2s, a crack-and-resubmit is not recommended unless a professional press could guarantee a jump to 9.8, which is unlikely given the current grade.
Notable Features
Death of Flash Thompson; Remastered Sketch Variant featuring classic Steve Ditko art; Milestone 800th issue (legacy numbering).
