Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $45; Graded (CGC 9.8): $120 - $150
Recent Sales
Raw copies have recently sold for consistently between $25 and $50 due to the key status of the issue. CGC 9.8 copies fluctuate between $110 and $160 depending on the current market heat for the character Electra.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if it can achieve a 9.8 grade. This is a major modern key issue. A professional press and clean could likely elevate this to a 9.8 candidate by removing minor spine ticks.
Notable Features
First appearance of Elektra as Daredevil; iconic Marco Checchetto cover; key turning point in the Chip Zdarsky run; does not feature a UPC on front (standard for this series' design).
Authentication Notes
Official Marvel publication with standard modern semi-gloss paper stock. Signature-like mark on the bottom right shard appears to be part of the printed cover art design/artist signature rather than an aftermarket ink signature.
