Very Good (CGC 4.0)

$10.00 - $25.00 (Raw)
Recent Sales
Similar reprint editions typically sell for $5 to $20 depending on condition. Original 1975 1st printings in this condition sell for $150+, but this is a modern reprint.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading. The cost of grading (approx. $30-50) exceeds the market value of the comic. Additionally, the 'Not For Resale' indicator and the paper quality identify it as a modern promotional reprint.
Notable Features
First appearance of Moira MacTaggert. 'Not For Resale' box in bottom right corner identifies it as a pack-in reprint (often sold with Marvel Legends action figures). Lacks a UPC barcode or original price (25 cents).
Authentication Notes
Authentic reprint. The 'Not For Resale' white box on the bottom right and the overall paper texture indicate this is the 2004 era reprint rather than the 1975 original. Colors are slightly oversaturated compared to Bronze Age newsprint.
