Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00; Graded (9.8): $60.00 - $80.00
Recent Sales
Ungraded copies typically sell for $3-$8 on secondary markets. CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold between $65 and $90 USD.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading plus shipping (approx. $40-$50) exceeds the current market value of a 9.0-9.4 copy. A press and clean might bump it higher, but ROI remains low for this non-key issue.
