Condition Details
The comic appears to be in high-grade condition. Visible through the polybag, there is a very slight rounding on the top right corner and minor glare on the bag which may hide tiny spine ticks. No major creasing, color breaks, or tears are evident from the photo provided.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $35.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
The series is a recent release; current sales for raw copies of Cover A are trending at or slightly above MSRP ($5.99).
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection sentimental value. As a modern non-key issue with high print volume, the cost of grading (approx. $30-50) would likely exceed the market value of the slabbed book.
Notable Features
First issue of a new creator-owned series by Jeff Lemire. Includes tarot-themed imagery and internal motifs characteristic of Lemire's indie work.
Authentication Notes
First printing established by the '00111' code on the UPC (not visible, but standard for this cover). The glossy paper stock and deep ink saturation are consistent with BOOM! Studios modern production standards.
