Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of this FCBD issue typically sell for under $10. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear but command a small premium from Hello Kitty completionists.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $20-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic. The visible crease likely limits it to mid-to-high grade levels rather than gem mint.
