Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00 | Graded 9.8: $60.00 - $90.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell in bulk lots for $2-$5. Recent eBay sales for slabbed 9.8 copies vary between $65 and $85 depending on label type.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current raw market value. The visible spine ticks would likely keep the grade below the 9.6/9.8 threshold required for a profit margin.
