Recent Sales
Copies in mid-grade (VF) sell for $40-$60. Low-grade copies like this typically sell for under $20 on secondary markets due to high shipping costs for treasury-sized books.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the oversized CGC holder and shipping exceeds the current market value of the book in this condition. It is best kept as a reading/filler copy.
Notable Features
Oversized tabloid format (10 x 13 inches). Includes pin-ups and a 'How to Draw the Hulk' feature. Distinctive UPC in bottom left corner.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel Treasury Edition. Correct cover gloss for the era and authentic oversized dimensions as evidenced by the Sharpie marker for scale.
