Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Severe vertical subscription crease running through the entire cover, significant spine rolling, blunted corners, and some color-breaking spine stress. The right edge shows signs of curling and potential tearing.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1 - $3. This issue in high grade (9.8) generally sells for $40-$60, but the current condition significantly reduces value to bargain bin pricing.
Recent Sales
High-grade 9.8 copies have recently sold for approximately $55. Low-grade copies like this one typically sell in bulk lots or for under $5 at comic shops.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of the grading fee exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. The severe subscription crease is a permanent defect that cannot be removed by pressing.
Notable Features
Includes a Spider-Man 'Black Costume' head in the UPC box. Features a team-up with Beta Ray Bill and Wolverine. This is a UK Price Variant denoted by the 40p stamp over the US price.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1980s newsprint stock. The COMAG 40p sticker or stamp is a standard distribution mark for the UK market during this era. Ink density and trade dress are consistent with Marvel's mid-80s production.
