Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Heavy marker writing ('1976') on top right front cover, significant surface wear and color loss (scuffing) in the center, blunted corners, spine stress lines, and minor tearing at the top edge. Comic is stored in a non-fitted plastic bag.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 USD. Graded: N/A (Value would likely not cover the cost of grading).
Recent Sales
Héritage double-issues typically sell for low amounts compared to original Marvel runs. Similar conditions often sell in bulk lots for $2-$5 per book.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The heavy marker writing and excessive surface scuffing significantly lower the grade. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would far exceed the book's market value.
Notable Features
Foreign language edition (French); Format Double (two-in-one); features the Éditions Héritage 'EH' logo. It also bears a '2 Numéros Réunis En Un Seul' badge.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Canadian Héritage edition. Characteristic newsprint paper quality and specific 'En Français' branding typical of 1970s Quebec distributions.
