Condition & Value

Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
The comic is presented inside a protective bag and board. Overall the cover retains strong gloss and vibrant colors, with sharp corners and minimal edge wear. There are very minor spine stresses visible upon close inspection, typical of well-preserved late-90s/early-2000s books. No major creases, tears, or staining are evident through the plastic.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5.00 - $15.00. Graded (CGC 9.0/9.2): $30.00 - $50.00.
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for raw copies of Tomb Raider #10 in mid-to-high grade generally range between $5 and $12 depending on platform and shipping.
Grading Recommendation
Given the relatively low market value for raw copies of this specific issue, professional grading through CGC or CBCS is generally not cost-effective unless part of a larger bulk submission or if aiming for a high-grade registry set of the full run.
Notable Features
Features early art by superstar artist Andy Park during the height of Top Cow's popularity in the comic industry around the turn of the millennium. Includes the classic Image Comics corner box and $2.50 cover price.
Authentication Notes
Standard modern comic stock consistent with Top Cow publications from January 2000. Features authentic cover gloss, proper color separations, standard square binding/staples, and correct Publisher/Eidos trade dress indicating a genuine first printing direct edition.
