Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Surface scuffing and fingerprints on the black matte cover finish; minor corner blunting on top right and bottom right corners; slight spine stress visible upon close inspection; glare makes fine paper detail difficult but matte black covers from this era are highly prone to rub marks.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded (9.8): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition average $7.00. High grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold between $65 and $90 on eBay.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless a high grade (9.8) is guaranteed. The cost of shipping and grading fees far exceeds the current market value of a mid-to-high grade raw copy.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
Authentic 1993 Marvel manufacturing. The gold foil embossing is deep and sharp, and the matte paper thickness is consistent with early 90s Marvel gimmick covers.
