Recent Sales
Recent raw sales range from $15 to $35 depending on local shop pricing and online auction platforms, while certified 9.2-9.4 copies regularly trade around $60.
Grading Recommendation
Not strongly recommended for professional grading unless part of a bulk submission or personal collection, as the raw market value closely aligns with or barely exceeds the cost of modern grading and shipping fees for a mid-tier modern book.

First issue of the series, first appearance of Miguel O'Hara as Spider-Man 2099, origin story, and features an iconic embossed foil cover design typical of early 1990s Marvel gimmick covers.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with correct 1990s printing characteristics, standard comic book paper stock, proper metallic foil application, and standard Marvel branding elements consistent with genuine first printings.
