Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Poor (CGC 0.5)
Condition Details
Severe damage; the top approximately one-third of the cover is missing (major detached piece), showing the interior splash page. Multiple creases, tears along the edges of the remaining cover fragment, heavy tanning, and spine disintegration.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $20; Graded: Not recommended due to significant missing pieces.
Recent Sales
In complete condition (FR/GD 1.5), this issue sells for $30-$50. In its current state, it is primarily a 'reader copy' or filler.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of the grading service exceeds the market value of the book in this incomplete condition. No amount of pressing or cleaning can fix missing cover sections.
Notable Features
Major Key Issue: First appearance of Adam Warlock (as 'Him' in cocoon form). Iconic Jack Kirby art. Significant Silver Age Marvel key.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an original 1967 copy based on the paper oxidation (yellowing) and the specific printing of the interior splash page visible. The loss of the top cover fragment is a genuine physical defect.
