Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The comic appears to be in very high-grade condition, still in a polybag or sleeve. Sharp corners are visible through the plastic. There is a slight reflection on the right side from the bag, making it hard to see micro-stresses, but the spine looks clean with no visible color breaks.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00 | Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for this specific variant have hovered around cover price to $12 for raw copies. 9.8 graded copies occasionally fetch a premium depending on current character demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection. As a modern variant with high print volume, the cost of grading ($35+) likely exceeds the market value of the book even at a 9.8 grade.
Notable Features
Features a cover homage to the iconic Fantastic Four #5 (Dr. Doom's first appearance). Includes the 'Marvel Comics Group' retro banner and is part of a series of homage covers released during this month.
Authentication Notes
Authentic modern Marvel publication. Features the current Marvel logo, issue number 23 (817 Legacy), and modern digital coloring techniques characteristic of 2023 prints.
