Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20 USD / Graded 7.0: $40 - $60 USD
Recent Sales
Recent 15p UK price variants in mid-to-high grade typically sell for a 10-20% premium to European collectors, but generally track close to the $0.50 cover price equivalents in the US market. Recent sales for raw mid-grade copies are approximately $15.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would likely exceed the final market value of the book. It is a solid 'reader' or filler copy for a run. A press might improve the grade to a 7.5 or 8.0 by flattening non-color breaking wrinkles.
Notable Features
Features a battle between Spider-Woman and Spider-Man. This is the UK Price Variant edition indicated by the '15P' in the top left corner instead of a USD cent price. No barcode (Direct/UK distribution style).
Authentication Notes
The 15p price stamp is a standard Marvel UK distribution mark for that era. Paper stock appears consistent with 1980s newsprint used by Marvel. Standard staple placement and ink saturation for the period.
