Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
Generally sharp corners and flat cover. There is a slight visible alignment shift common for modern incentives and minor potential for spine ticks hidden by the bag. Surface gloss appears high with no visible color rub.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25.00 - $35.00 | Graded (9.8): $80.00 - $110.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $20 to $40 depending on exact condition. Slabbed 9.8 copies have recently sold for approximately $95.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate recommendation. As a 1:25 incentive, it holds niche value. If a visual inspection outside the bag confirms a 9.8 candidate, grading may increase liquidity, but the current market for this specific issue is stable rather than surging.
Notable Features
Ratio Incentive (1:25); Features a unique 'Dark' or 'Villainous' aesthetic depiction on the cover; UPC code indicates code 00921 (Issue 9, Variant 2, First Printing).
Authentication Notes
Genuine Marvel modern era comic. Includes modern digital code sticker (unseen) and standard 'Rated T' marking. The bottom left features a store inventory barcode sticker on the bag, not the comic itself.
