Condition & Value

Condition Details
Visible rounding and blunting on the bottom left corner near the UPC; minor spine stress marks; slight surface scuffing on the dark areas of the cover; edge wear along the bottom right margin.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.99 to $9.00 plus shipping; CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold for approximately $45-$55.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service exceeds the current market value of the comic in this condition. Professional pressing would not likely raise this to a 9.8 (investment grade) due to corner blunting.
Notable Features
Includes a preview of Flashpoint #1; prominent Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) branding; features Hal Jordan, Sinestro, and Kilowog.
Authentication Notes
Authentic DC product; features standard glossy paper stock for the era and correct UPC layout for a 2011 direct sales promotional book.
