Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible glare from the protective bag obscures some detail, but small spine stress marks (ticks) are visible on the left edge. There is minor corner blunting at the top right and potential minor edge wear. The cover retains good color vibrancy but shows typical handling for a newsstand copy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (Ungraded): $3 - $8 | Graded (CGC 9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw newsstand copies in mid-to-high grade have sold for approximately $5.00. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies typically sell in the $50 range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx $25-$40) exceeds the current market value of the book in this condition. It is a common 'dollar bin' issue unless in pristine 9.8 condition.
Notable Features
Infinity Gauntlet crossover tie-in. Features Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock. Contains the 'UPC barcode' in the bottom left, signifying it as a Newsstand Edition which is slightly scarcer than the Direct Edition for this era.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 1991 newsstand printing. The paper quality and aging of the newsstand stock (visible at the edges) and the specific design of the Marvel price box/barcode are consistent with genuine copies from this period.
