Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this issue typically sell for under $10 in high grade. A CGC 9.8 copy sold recently for approximately $55. It is a common 'dollar bin' find in many shops.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS submission (approx. $25-$40 plus shipping) exceeds the current market value of the comic. Even a 9.8 candidate would yield low ROI. Recommended for a protective bag and board only.
Notable Features
This series was part of the 'Clone Saga' era and features the 'A Spider-Man Special Event' branding on the cover. It is notable for its focus on Peter's potential retirement from heroics.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic based on the matte finish typical of mid-90s Marvel gloss, correct logo typography, and period-accurate 'Spider-Man Special Event' trade dress in the upper left corner.
