Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress with color-breaking ticks; significant blunting and rounding at the bottom-left and bottom-right corners; noticeable vertical finger creasing and surface wear along the spine edge; minor edge wear and light foxing/soiling potentially present on back edges; bagged but appears to have some surface scuffing in black ink areas.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (CGC 5.0): $45 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies in mid-grade range from $12 to $30. CGC 9.8 copies have sold for over $400, but mid-grades remain affordable.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal sentimental value. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$50) likely exceeds the final market value of a 5.0 copy. A press and clean might improve the grade slightly by removing non-color breaking creases, but spine ticks will remain.
Notable Features
Bronze Age Marvel Annual; features UPC barcode (Newsstand); classic Al Milgrom cover art; 75-cent price variant (standard for the era's annuals).
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1979 Marvel publication. Correct paper stock (newsprint) visible through the bag, appropriate 75-cent price point for a double-sized annual of that year, and standard color registration and staple placement for the period.
