Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress marks visible through the polybag (color-breaking ticks). Slight blunting on the bottom left corner. Some surface rubbing/scuffing on the polybag itself may obscure minor cover flaws. Overall flat with good color vibrancy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15; Graded (9.8): $60 - $80
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales average $8 online. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $75 range, though demand is moderate for this non-key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$50) likely exceeds the market value of the book unless it achieves a perfect 9.8 grade, which is difficult given the visible spine ticks.
Notable Features
Includes a bonus 16-page preview of the Spider-Man Cartoon Series. Features internal animation-style print. Part of the 'Beware the Rage of a Desperate Man' crossover event.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s Marvel stock. Features standard glossy cover of the era and correct UPC barcode for direct market distribution. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting.
