Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Large white price tag/sticker adhered to the mid-left cover near the spine, moderate spine stress associated with the sticker area, minor corner blunting, possible adhesive residue damage if removal is attempted.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $5. Graded (9.8): $40 - $60. The presence of the sticker significantly devalues this specific copy.
Recent Sales
High-grade raw copies typically sell for $3-$5; common 'dollar bin' issue in this condition.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading far exceeds the market value of the book, especially with the large non-removable adhesive sticker which acts as a major defect.
Notable Features
Features the 1990s 'ad-style' UPC barcode field for Direct Edition comics. Prominent guest appearances by Hobgoblin and Demogoblin.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1994 Marvel Direct Edition. Visible typical 90s gloss finish and newsstand-quality interior paper stock of the era.
