Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (8.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks), slight corner blunting on the bottom left, minor edge wear along the top, and some surface rubbing typical of high-gloss copper age covers.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2.00 to $8.00 depending on condition. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear at auction due to low demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS fees exceeds the raw market value, and the current condition (approx 8.0) does not warrant the investment.
Notable Features
Features a T-Rex cover; part of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC continuity that expanded on the All-Star Squadron legacy.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 'New Format' DC comic from 1988. Features Baxter-style higher quality paper stock; printing quality and color saturation are consistent with period-accurate DC production.
