Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. The top left corner shows slight blunting. Front cover surface appears clean through the bag, but minor bag scuffing makes exact surface sheen assessment difficult.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for cover price or slightly above. Graded 9.8 copies have settled in the $35 range due to high supply and low key-value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book. Only worth grading for personal collection if a 9.8 is guaranteed.
