Estimated Market Value
Raw: $35 - $50; Graded (9.8): $120 - $160
Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if it can achieve a 9.8 after a professional press and clean. If there are color-breaking spine ticks not visible in the photo, grading may result in a 9.2-9.4, where the cost of grading may exceed the value increase.
