Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5 Range)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks), slight corner blunting on the bottom left, some surface scuffing/rubbing on the high-gloss black area, and a red price sticker/dot on the right-middle side of the cover which significantly impacts the grade if permanent.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (9.8): $100 - $130
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in Mid-to-High grade range from $12 to $25. Graded 9.8 copies have sold for approximately $115 average in current market cycles.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading in current condition. The presence of the red sticker and visible spine ticks would likely keep the grade below 8.0, making the cost of grading higher than the current market value of the book.
Notable Features
Marvel 25th Anniversary Border (iconic 1986 frame featuring various Marvel characters); Direct Market edition with UPC barcode; early Ann Nocenti work.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1980s Copper Age Marvel comic. The 'Marvel 25th Anniversary' header and standard price of 75 cents are consistent with November 1986 releases. No signs of reproduction or counterfeiting visible.
