Moderate spine stress with multiple color-breaking 'ticks', general cover wrinkling and handling wear visible through the polybag, corner blunting on the bottom right, and potential yellowing around edges.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.0+): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition sell for roughly $5.00 plus shipping; CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $100-$130 range, though this copy will likely not reach that grade.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of shipping and grading fees far exceeds the current market value of a mid-to-high grade raw copy.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
Authentic 1991 Marvel newsstand publication; ink density and newsstand barcode placement are consistent with period-appropriate print runs from the early 90s.
