Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears very clean through the polybag. There is minor blunting on the top left corner and a potential light spine tick near the center staple area which is common for thin ashcan paper stock.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $15.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for this ashcan variant typically range from $10 to $20 depending on the venue. Demand is currently niche as it is a promotional item for a newer indie series.
Grading Recommendation
Not highly recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of grading (approx $30-$40 + shipping) currently exceeds or equals the market value of the book itself. If submitted, a light press could help reach a 9.8.
Notable Features
Ashcan edition; first appearance of the series concepts; distributed at trade shows and comic shops as a promotional teaser; features 'Free' designation on the barcode area.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Ignition Press ashcan. The print registration on the barcode and the specific Ignition Press logo in the bottom left are consistent with official promotional copies.
