Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
The comic appears to be in high-grade condition through the polybag. Corners look sharp; spine shows no visible color-breaking stress ticks. There is a slight reflection on the left edge, but this appears to be the bag and not the comic itself. Minimal shelf wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $45.00 | Graded (CGC 9.8): $120.00 - $150.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this virgin variant range between $35 and $50 depending on condition. CGC 9.8 copies have consistently sold in the $130 range.
Grading Recommendation
Yes, if it appears to be a candidate for a 9.8. Artgerm virgin covers are highly collectible and see a significant value jump when professionally graded. A 'Press and Clean' is recommended to ensure the highest potential grade for the solid red background.
Notable Features
Virgin variant (no trade dress/titles). Features iconic Artgerm cover art. Key relaunch of the Captain Marvel series ahead of the MCU film release.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel Comics retailer exclusive. Virgin variants lack the barcode and logo on the front, which is correct for this specific Artgerm edition. Print quality and ink saturations for the red background are consistent with official distributor standards.
