Condition Details

Small tears or chipping may be present on the right edge along with possible light staining or tanning of edges.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (CGC 4.0): $35 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent 2023-2024 sales for mid-grade raw copies range from $12 to $25. Higher grade (9.0+) copies command significantly more, but low-to-mid grades are common and affordable.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading and shipping would likely exceed the final market value of a 4.0 copy. It is better kept as a raw reader copy or for a low-grade completionist set.
Notable Features
Bronze Age horror title; House of Evil storyline; features Topaz. No major key first appearances or deaths in this specific issue, though the series is highly collectible due to the character's MCU presence.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1970s bronze age comic. The 25-cent price point and 'Marvel Comics Group' header are historically accurate. No immediate signs of being a modern reprint or counterfeit are visible.
