Condition Details
The comic is enclosed in a polybag with a visible price sticker on the upper right cover. Corners appear relatively sharp with minor blunting, and spine shows light stress lines. The paper stock shows mild tanning typical of books from this era, but no significant tears, stains, or missing pieces are readily apparent from the exterior view.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $3.00 to $10.00 USD. Graded CGC 8.0 to 9.0 value estimated around $20.00 to $35.00 USD.
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for Web of Spider-Man #23 in raw mid-grade condition typically range from $3 to $8 depending on the platform and buyer demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS) as the grading and shipping costs would far exceed the market value of the book. It is better kept as a raw reading or collection copy.
Notable Features
Features the Marvel 25th Anniversary banner in the upper left corner. Direct edition with a barcode box containing a zero rather than a standard barcode number sequence.
Authentication Notes
Appears completely authentic with standard 1980s Marvel paper stock, proper color registration, and correct direct edition indicator in the UPC box.
