Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $3 to $12 depending on condition. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear for this specific promotional issue but typically stay under $100.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would likely exceed the market value of the comic. It is a low-value promotional item intended for collectors of Spider-Man ephemeral issues.
Notable Features
Promotional comic focusing on safety. Features Ghost Rider guest appearance. Higher price point ($1.50) for its time compared to standard issues. Features a child in a Toronto Blue Jays shirt, as these were often distributed in Canada.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be authentic based on the ink saturation, specific UPC box geometry for the 90s, and correct corner logo placement. No signs of modern reprint or counterfeit.
