Estimated Market Value
Raw: $60.00 - $90.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $180.00 - $250.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell between $65 and $85 depending on sharpness. Higher grade 9.8 slabs have recently trended around $200-$225.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if a 9.8 is guaranteed. Dark covers like this are notoriously difficult to keep at 9.8 due to scuffing and spine ticks. A professional press/clean is highly recommended before submission to maximize the grade.
Notable Features
Rarity (1:100 Ratio), Virgin Cover (no trade dress), Dell'Otto artwork, Key 'Beyond' Era debut, Ben Reilly as Spider-Man.
Authentication Notes
The UPC placement on the lower left of the back (not visible) or the presence of the 'Marvel 75' trade dress indicator at the bottom left confirms it as a legitimate Marvel incentive release. High-quality paper stock and deep ink saturation are typical for this era's variants.
