Moderate spine stress with color-breaking ticks; blunting on top and bottom right corners; slight edge wear along the top; minor surface scuffing visible on the dark areas of the cover art.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $75 - $120
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar mid-range condition typically sell for $6-$10 plus shipping on eBay. Heritage Auctions and other platforms show 9.8 graded copies occasionally exceeding $100.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading (approx. $25-$40 plus shipping) would exceed the market value of a mid-to-high grade raw copy. Professional pressing might improve it, but it is not a high-value key issue.
Notable Features
Direct Edition (Spider-Man head in the UPC box). Significant J. Jonah Jameson cover and story focus.
Authentication Notes
Standard newsprint paper stock and 60-cent cover price consistent with early 80s Marvel publications. Glossy cover finish appears correct for the era.
