Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress and color-breaking ticks on the left edge. Minor blunting on the bottom left corner. Some surface scuffing and light scratches on the black ink cover which are exacerbated by being in a loose poly-bag. Mild edge wear visible at the top.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (9.8): $90 - $125
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales average $15. Low-grade copies sell for under $10, while high-grade CGC 9.8 copies have consistently stayed near $100 due to the anniversary issue status.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless it is a sentimental piece. The estimated grade of 7.5 to 8.0 would result in a market value lower than the cost of grading fees. A high-quality press might improve the grade, but likely not to the necessary 9.8 threshold.
Notable Features
Double-sized 300th issue special. Anniversary issue. Significant turning point in the Matt Murdock/Wilson Fisk rivalry. Kingpin's fall from grace. Direct Edition (no barcode on front cover).
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 1992 publication. The paper stock, 'Weeks 1991' signature style, and ink density on the black background are consistent with Marvel's early 90s printing standards.
