Appears to be in solid shape inside a bag and board with minimal handling wear, slight potential spine stress near the top staple, but corners appear relatively sharp and colors are vibrant with standard gloss.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $25; Graded CGC 9.8: $80 - $150
Recent Sales

Only worth professional grading if it is a confirmed high-grade (9.8 candidate) after removing from the bag for closer inspection. Given the high print run of The New 52 #1, lower grades are generally not worth the grading fees.
