Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Large corner fold/crease on the bottom right corner showing the white reverse side. Significant spine stress and color-breaking ticks. Heavy corner blunting and edge wear. Notable ink mark or line through the UPC barcode area.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded: $25 - $40 (Lowered due to significant damage and UK variant status which often carries a lower premium than US editions)
Recent Sales
Recent sales for standard US editions in Mid-to-High grade range from $15 to $35. Low-grade copies or UK variants generally sell for under $10.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) would exceed the market value of the book, especially given the severe bottom-right corner crease and UK price variant status.
Notable Features
UK Price Variant (12p instead of 35 cents). Bronze Age Marvel. Features Roxxon Oil branding on cover art. Includes a 'diagonal line' mark through the barcode, common in some remaindered or UK distributed stock.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Bronze Age Marvel UK distribution copy. Paper stock shows correct aging (slight tanning visible on edges). Staple placement is consistent with 1970s manufacturing.
