Condition Details
Visible slight spine stress with minor color-breaking ticks. Top left corner shows a minor blunt. The cover surface appears flat with strong color saturation, though there is a slight vertical wave possibly from storage in the box.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00 / Graded (9.8): $35.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for approximately cover price ($2.99) to $5.00. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies typically sell in the $40 range, often making the cost of grading higher than the market value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. While it is a solid high-grade copy, the market value of a mid-series issue of Thief of Thieves does not currently justify the $30-$50 cost of grading/shipping.
Notable Features
Features the '20 Years 1992-2012' Image Comics anniversary logo on the top left. This series was heavily optioned for television development by AMC, which initially drove collector interest.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing. Displays correct paper stock common for 2012 Skybound titles (semi-gloss cover) and accurate $2.99 price point. Staples are centered and show no signs of oxidation.
