Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0) to Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Visible blue circular sticker applied directly to the top right corner of the comic cover (likely a price or inventory sticker). Notable spine stress/ticks. Potential blunting on the bottom left corner near the UPC. General surface wear visible through the polybag.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7; Graded (9.8): $35 - $50 (Note: The sticker significantly lowers the raw value and grade unless removable without residue).
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this issue typically sell for bulk prices of $2-$5. High-grade (9.8) copies rarely appear individually but generally stay under $50.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic is a Modern Age book with high print volume and low market demand. The presence of the sticker and visible spine wear makes it unlikely to achieve a high enough grade to justify the cost of the grading service.
Notable Features
Features Shriek as a primary antagonist in the Batman Beyond segment. Promotes the 'Man of Steel' film in the top header. Includes a Direct Edition UPC barcode.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 2013 DC publication. The gloss finishes and paper weight are consistent with the 'New 52' era production standards. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting are evident.
