Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5 to 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible rounding and blunting of the top and bottom right corners. The gold foil surface shows high susceptibility to scuffing and fingerprints. Significant polybag crinkling is visible, which may have caused pressure marks or 'bag creases' on the foil surface. Slight spine roll/wear is visible through the plastic.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $70 - $90. Current value in this condition is approximately $8.
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $80 range due to the difficulty of keeping foil scratch-free.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading usually exceed the market value for this specific issue unless it is a certain 9.8. This copy shows corner wear that likely caps the grade in the 7.5-8.5 range.
Notable Features
30th Anniversary Issue. Distinctive Gold Foil embossed cover. Part of the 'Bloodties' storyline spanning across Avengers and X-Men titles. Often found in original polybags, sometimes with a trading card.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s Marvel production. The gold foil embossing is deep and consistent with the period's manufacturing standards. The red 'Retribution' text and 'Avengers' logo are printed correctly over the foil stamp.
