After a run of comics whose grades swing by half their value, it is a relief to write about one that does not. Amazing Spider-Man 13 value can be quoted, and this page shows the working.
It is the first appearance of Mysterio, from June 1964, and it sits in the stretch of this title where nearly every issue is a key.
One of the deepest records on this list
Two hundred and seventy-four documented sales sit behind this comic, going back to 2002, and they are spread across the ladder rather than piled at the top. That is unusual and it is the reason this page can be more definite than most.
The character has kept the book in front of buyers as well. Mysterio has appeared in animation for decades and in a live-action film, so demand has been steady rather than spiking around one release.
The identification is the standard 1964 Marvel one: 12 cents, June 1964, no bar code. Marvel Tales and modern collections have reprinted the story, and each states its own edition in the small print.
What the graded lanes support
One of these was reported by CGC. Read the 9.0 line at the bottom last, because it is the one that makes this book quotable.
| Grade | Result | Where and when |
|---|---|---|
| CGC 9.6 | $45,600 | Heritage Auctions, September 2021 |
| CGC 9.6 | $26,400 | Heritage Auctions, October 2024 |
| CGC 9.4 | $19,200 | Heritage Auctions, July 2023 |
| CGC 9.4 | $19,200 | Heritage Auctions, April 2024 |
| CGC 9.4 | $16,800 | Heritage Auctions, April 2025 |
| CGC 9.2 | $11,805 | ComicLink, January 2023 |
| CGC 9.2 | $9,000 | Heritage Auctions, July 2024 |
| CGC 9.2 | $8,700 | Heritage Auctions, April 2025 |
| CGC 9.0 | $8,995 | eBay, February 2025 |
| CGC 9.0 | $7,500 | eBay, February 2026 |
| CGC 9.0 | $6,600 | Heritage Auctions, January 2025 |
The 9.4 line printed $19,200 twice, in July 2023 and April 2024, then $16,800 in April 2025. Two identical results nine months apart is a grade that has found its level, and the third sale is only about twelve percent below them.
The 9.2 line has eased more: $11,805 in January 2023, $9,000 in July 2024, $8,700 in April 2025. Steady, unremarkable, and easy to work with.
Then the 9.0 lane, which is the reason for this page. It carries twenty-six documented sales, and the recent ones land at $6,000, $6,320, $6,600, $6,600, $7,500 and $8,995. Twenty-six sales in one grade of one comic is more evidence than most Silver Age keys produce across their whole ladder.
The 9.6 pair is the exception to all of it: $45,600 in September 2021 and $26,400 in October 2024, down more than forty percent. The top of this book behaves like every other top on this site. Everything under it does not.
The 8.5 lane makes the same case one grade further down. Four sales across 2026 came in at $4,799 in March, $4,950 in April, $4,899 in June, against $5,000 the previous December. Four results inside two hundred dollars of each other over seven months, at two different venues. That is not a range, it is a price.
As with everything on this site, those figures come through CGC’s reporting of other companies’ auctions and Heritage’s own published results. GoCollect and PriceCharting track Amazing Spider-Man #13 independently, and if their numbers disagree with mine it is worth finding out which of us is wrong.

Every row above is a documented sale, verifiable in Heritage’s public Amazing Spider-Man issue index and in CGC’s published auction reporting. The 9.0 lane holds twenty-six of them on its own, which is why this book supports a number rather than a range.
The deepest mid-grade record in this batch
No book I have written up has a busier lower half than this one: ninety-eight readable copies sold since January 2025.
From May to July 2026: a 7.0 brought $2,900, a 6.0 brought $1,900, three 5.0 copies brought $1,300, $1,205 and $1,201, a 4.5 brought $1,050, a 4.0 brought $854 at Heritage, and three 3.5 copies brought $890, $800 and $690.
Three 5.0 sales inside two months, from $1,201 to $1,300, is about as tight as this hobby gets. So is the 3.5 trio between $690 and $890.
That is what a properly traded comic looks like. An owner of this one does not have to settle for a range: name the grade and the record will name the price, and very few Silver Age keys allow that.
Selling an Amazing Spider-Man #13
- Twelve cents, June 1964, no bar code. Marvel Tales and modern collections reprint the story and all of them say so inside.
- Ask for a number, not a range. On this book the evidence supports one, and a seller should expect that.
- Do not anchor to the 9.6. It fell more than forty percent between 2021 and 2024 and describes a market almost nobody is in.
- Keep the run together. Barely an issue in this title’s first two dozen is filler, and the group clears better than the pieces.
Send photographs and you will get a figure rather than a range, because this is one of the few comics on this site where the record actually supports one.
Have a first Mysterio?
This one lives or dies on grade, so I need more than the cover: photograph the spine, the staples and all four corners of an issue dated June 1964 at twelve cents. Text them to me.
I read every request myself.
Send photographs and I will place your copy in its grade lane against the same recent sales you can read above. Where you take it next is your call, and the options for selling in Southern California are worth knowing either way.
