SUPER-VILLAIN TEAM-UP #10

Cover shows strong gloss and vibrant color with sharp corners and a mostly clean spine; a few faint diagonal stress lines/creases are visible near the mid-spine area and there is a small crease near the top left near the price box. Edges appear generally tight with no visible chipping, tears, or major creasing. The book is in a protective sleeve, which limits full assessment of surface sheen and edge wear; back cover and interior were not assessed. Based on visible evidence this presents as a high-grade copy, estimated in the NM- range.

Super-Villain Team-Up #10 continues the Bronze Age storyline begun in Avengers #156, pitting an uneasy alliance of Doctor Doom and Captain America against the Red Skull amid the political intrigue of Latveria. Bill Mantlo's script, illustrated by Bob Hall and Don Perlin, folds in Namor, Attuma, and the Shroud, giving the issue a crowded roster typical of the era's team-up titles. The book reflects Marvel's mid-1970s appetite for villain-centric ensemble series built around Doctor Doom, one of the publisher's most enduring antagonists, though the issue itself introduces no new characters and holds no first-appearance or origin significance.

Market data shows a compact but active census of 65 CGC Universal copies, with pricing concentrated in the mid-to-high grade tiers; the 9.4 through 9.8 range shows the steepest value gradient, jumping from roughly $65 at 9.2 to $100-plus at 9.4 and above. This pattern is typical of a common ensemble title from the era: demand is driven less by narrative importance than by Doctor Doom and Captain America completist collecting and by the relative scarcity of pristine surviving copies, since the book was not treated as a keeper on release. Sales volume is modest across all grades, meaning pricing at the top of the curve depends on a small number of transactions.

This issue trades as a solid mid-run Bronze Age Marvel book rather than a key, appealing mainly to Doctor Doom and Captain America character collectors, Super-Villain Team-Up run-builders, and CGC census chasers targeting the highest surviving grades. Raw copies in low and mid grade move steadily but for modest sums reflecting its common status, while CGC 9.6 and 9.8 slabs command a meaningful premium due to the thin population at those grades relative to overall census size.
