Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20.00 - $35.00; Graded (9.8): $80.00 - $110.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for the RI covers of the late IDW run range from $15 to $40 depending on the specific incentive ratio and condition. Standard editions typically sell for cover price or slightly above.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if it is a guaranteed 9.8 to maximize the incentive variant value. Given the current market, keeping it raw in a high-quality Mylar bag is generally recommended unless it is for a complete personal registry set.
Notable Features
Retailer Incentive (RI) 1:10 variant cover by Ron Joseph. This issue is part of the final 25-issue stretch of the IDW run, which has seen increased collector interest since the license moved to Skybound.
Authentication Notes
Authentic IDW publication. Features correct trade dress, creator credits (Hama, Atkins, Diaz), and specific 'RI-A' designation in the corner box which is typical for IDW's incentive program.
