Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. The top right corner shows very slight blunting. There is a small surface ripple or light bend near the Marvel logo which might be an artifact of the bag but should be checked for color breaks.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50 | Graded (9.8): $120 - $160
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar mid-to-high grade have recently sold for $35-$45. CGC 9.8 copies routinely sell in the $150 range due to the cross-over appeal of Invincible fans.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended if the surface ripple is only in the bag and the book is a 9.6 or 9.8 candidate. Pressing is highly recommended to flatten any minor waves. At a 9.0, the grading fees may match the value increase, making it less profitable.
Notable Features
First meeting of Spider-Man and Invincible. The cover is a directed homage to Todd McFarlane's iconic Spider-Man #1 (1990) cover layout. Notable as one of the few official Marvel/Image crossovers.
Authentication Notes
First printing confirmed by the barcode and the presence of both Image and Marvel logos. The paper stock has the standard mid-2000s semi-gloss finish. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting.
