Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $20 - $40. Graded (CGC 9.2-9.4) value: $60 - $100.
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition generally sell between $25 and $35 depending on the platform and buyer demand.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate recommendation for grading only if aiming to bundle with other high-value books to offset grading costs, as the current raw value leaves modest margins after professional grading fees.
