Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. Slight blunting on the bottom right corner. The cover gloss appears intact, but there is possible light surface wear consistent with age and storage.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies sold on eBay between $2.00 and $10.00 depending on condition. High-grade slabbed copies show very low market volume as it is not a major key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would exceed the market value of the book. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the 30th Anniversary 'Spider-Man face' logo in the UPC box area, typical of Marvel issues from 1992.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic first printing. The 'Direct Edition' graphic where the barcode would be, the paper stock sheen, and the color saturation of the 1992 Marvel trade dress are all consistent with original production.
