Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks and ticks along the left edge. Minor corner blunting, particularly the bottom left. Slight edge wear on the bottom right. Minor color breaking crease near the top right corner. Surface appears reasonably glossy with some light handling wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50; Graded (9.0+): $150 - $250
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar mid-to-high grade condition have sold between $35 and $55. High-grade CGC 9.6/9.8 copies can exceed $400, but this specimen shows too much wear for that bracket.
Grading Recommendation
Optional. At an estimated 7.0 (Fine/Very Fine), the cost of grading plus shipping may exceed the immediate value gain. Professional pressing could potentially improve the grade to a 7.5 or 8.0 by flattening some non-color breaking spine stress.
Notable Features
First meeting of Spider-Man and Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze). Features The Orb (Drake Shannon) in a secondary appearance. Classic bronze age crossover.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Bronze Age Marvel comic. Features the correct 20 cent price point, 'CC' diamond logo, and period-accurate paper oxidation levels on the page edges.
