Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks with color breaking; slight blunting on the top and bottom left spine corners; minor edge wear along the right side; the hologram area appears intact but shows typical light surface scuffing common for this issue.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20.00 - $35.00; Graded (CGC 7.5): $50.00 - $65.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $150.00+
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar mid-to-high grade condition have recently sold between $25 and $40 on eBay. High-grade 9.8 copies command a significant premium due to the fragility of the black cover and hologram.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it can achieve a 9.6 or higher. The visible spine ticks suggest a grade in the 7.5 range, where the cost of grading often exceeds the market value of the slabbed book. A press might improve the flatness but will not remove color-breaking ticks.
Notable Features
First appearance of Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara) in a 5-page preview. 30th Anniversary hologram. Iconic Mark Bagley cover art.
Authentication Notes
The hologram is a multi-layered plastic insert; it is difficult to counterfeit. The 'Spider-Man 30th Anniversary' logo in the top bar and the specific $3.95 price point are correct for this 'Super-Sized' anniversary edition.
