Condition Details
Moderate shelf wear visible on black cover, minor corner blunting on top right, light surface scratching/scuffing visible in dark areas of the cover, and slight spine stress.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $45; Graded (9.8): $120 - $160
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar condition have recently sold between $35 and $50. Graded 9.8 copies have trended upward due to the popularity of the Arkham Knight/Red Hood identity.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if a 9.8 is attainable after a professional press; however, visible surface scuffs may limit the grade to a 9.0-9.2, making it less profitable as a slabbed book.
Notable Features
First appearance of the Arkham Knight (Jason Todd) in comic book continuity. Highly sought after by fans of the Arkham video game franchise and Red Hood collectors.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 2015 DC Publishing standards; glossy cover finish, precise name lettering for Tomasi and Soy, and correct DC 'Circle' era logo placement.
