Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fair/Good (CGC 1.5)
Condition Details
The book suffers from a major structural defect: a significant corner crease/fold on the bottom right that appears to have caused color loss and potentially paper separation. Additionally, there are multiple spine stress ticks, visible corner blunting on the top right and bottom left, and some edge wear along the top and left margins. The overall gloss is diminished.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00 | Graded (estimated 1.5): $10.00 - $15.00
Recent Sales
In high grade (NM 9.4+), this issue sells for $15-$25 raw. Low-grade copies like this typically sell in 'dollar bins' or as part of bulk lots rather than as individual collectibles.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic in this condition. This is a reader-copy only.
Notable Features
Newsstand edition with UPC barcode. Concluding issue of the first DC mini-series. Michael Golden cover art.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1980s DC Newsstand edition. Paper stock displays the expected slight tanning for the era; printing registration on the 'ENDGAME' text and UPC appears consistent with factory standards.
