The book appears to be in high-grade condition. Corners look sharp through the polybag, with no visible spine ticks or color-breaking creases. Minor shelf wear may be present on the back, but from the front, it shows excellent eye appeal.

Raw: $10 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this variant have consistently stayed in the cover price to $15 range. CGC 9.8 copies have sold for approximately $50 - $55 including shipping.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. While the art is popular, the high print run and current market value for a 9.8 do not justify the grading fees and shipping costs for a profit-flip.

Anniversary issue #50; variant cover art by popular artist Sozomaika; includes a barcode with '05021' indicating issue 50, cover B, first printing.
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss finish, modern cardstock cover, and digital printing clarity are consistent with DC's 2023 manufacturing standards. The UPC placement and font match official releases.
