Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
The cover appears very sharp through the polybag; minor blunting possible at the lower left corner and very slight spine stresses visible under the light reflection near the top staple.
Estimated Market Value
Raw unsigned: $15-$25. Raw signed (unverified): $30-$50. CGC 9.8 (verified signature): $150+.
Recent Sales
The Quitely 1:25 incentive variant typically sells between $15 and $30 raw. Signed copies vary significantly based on the artist/writer and the presence of a COA.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading via CBCS Verified Signature Program or if witnessing a signature for CGC Signature Series. The current signature is unverified and would receive a 'Qualified' green label from CGC, which usually hurts value.
Notable Features
Includes a 1:25 incentive variant cover by All-Star Superman artist Frank Quitely. This issue features a prominent signature on the top half of the cover which appears to be in black ink.
Authentication Notes
The book features a large signature (possibly Nick Pitarra or similar) across the top. Authentic DC logo and modern high-gloss cardstock indicate it is a genuine modern release. Polybagged for protection.
