Recent Sales
CGC 6.0 copies have recently sold in the range of $650 to $800. Raw mid-grade copies frequently trade between $350 and $500 depending on eye appeal.
Grading Recommendation
Yes, worth grading. This is a major key issue (1st cameo of Adam Warlock as 'Him'). A professional press and clean could likely bump this from a 5.5/6.0 range closer to a 7.0, significantly increasing value.
Notable Features
Major Key: 1st appearance of Adam Warlock (as Him) in a cameo (within cocoon). Iconic Jack Kirby cover art. Features the Enclave. Silver Age 12-cent cover price.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Silver Age Marvel production signs: dot-gain in the printing process, 12-cent IND notation, original staple placement, and typical paper oxidation levels for the late 1960s.
