Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears to be in high-grade condition with sharp corners and decent gloss. Minor spine white-showing stress points are common for this paper stock, but none are clearly visible at this resolution. The edges appear straight with no visible blunting or tearing.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20.00 - $35.00 / Graded (CGC 9.8): $120.00 - $160.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies of the NYCC edition have sold between $25 and $45 on eBay. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies occasionally reaching $150+ due to the novelty of the crossover.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended only if the owner is certain of a 9.8 grade. As a promotional giveaway, these were often handled poorly; a high-grade survivor has niche value to 'Colonel Sanders' collectors or completionist Green Lantern fans.
Notable Features
Features a unique '0¢' price on the cover as it was a promotional giveaway during New York Comic Con 2016. It is the second of three KFC/DC crossovers.
Authentication Notes
The glossy paper stock used for these modern promo books is difficult to replicate. Standard staple placement remains consistent with modern DC manufacturing. No known counterfeits exist as the market value is relatively capped.
