Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5 to 8.0)
Condition Details
Visible minor spine stress ticks, slight blunting on the bottom right corner, minor shelf wear on the yellow background, and some color-breaking creases along the spine. The cover maintains good gloss and color vibrancy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; Graded (9.6+): $40 - $60. This is a common back-issue with low monetary value in mid-to-high raw conditions.
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition generally sell for under $10. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies occasionally reaching $75+ but market movement is slow for this specific issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS fees would exceed the market value of the book. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Alan Davis cover art; transition period for the team after Batman's departure; Direct Edition (indicated by the logo in the UPC box).
Authentication Notes
