Recent Sales
Recent raw copies generally sell in the $5 to $10 range at local comic shops and online marketplaces due to high print runs during the early 1990s hologram boom.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally recommended for professional grading unless part of a complete 1992 Marvel hologram set, as the raw value and grading costs make it cost-prohibitive.
Notable Features
Features a 30th Anniversary embossed hologram insert on the cover, celebrating Spider-Man's debut from 1962 to 1992, typical of the 1990s gimmick cover era.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1992 Marvel trade dress, correct UPC box area indicating direct edition or newsstand format beneath the hologram, and standard newsprint interior styling typical of Marvel's 1992 publishing.
