Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Significant spine roll causing the cover to shift right, heavy corner blunting on the bottom left and top left, visible spine stress marks, and minor edge wear along the bottom. The cover displays general surface wear consistent with mid-grade reader copies.
Estimated Market Value
$3.00 - $8.00 (Raw)
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue typically fall in the $5 range plus shipping. In high-grade (9.8), it can reach $50-$70, but current condition does not warrant that valuation.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service exceeds the current market value of the comic in this condition. It is best enjoyed as a raw reader copy.
Notable Features
First appearance of Trash. Features a Jon Bogdanove cover. Direct edition (indicated by the Spider-Man face in the UPC box). Part of the 'Special in the Family Issue' series.
Authentication Notes
Authentic copper age Marvel production. Exhibits correct paper stock porosity for 1987, standard staple placement, and period-accurate color saturation on the trade dress.
