Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine ticks, slight corner blunting at the top right, some mild cover gloss loss, and minor edge wear consistent with a well-preserved bag-and-board copy from the early 1990s.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5 - $15. Graded (CGC 9.0/9.2): $30 - $50.
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue generally range between $5 and $12 depending on platform and exact condition.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally recommended for professional grading unless part of a bulk submission, as the raw value and potential slabbed value increase do not easily outweigh grading fees for a 7.0-8.0 copy.
Notable Features
Part of the Captain America 50th Anniversary celebration banner (1941-1991) featuring the special logo in the bottom left corner.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1991 Marvel direct edition with correct paper stock, barcode box replaced with the 'A' symbol, and accurate color separation typical of the period.
