Recent Sales
Recent raw copies usually sell as part of lots for under $3 each. High-grade single issues rarely surface in the auction market due to low demand despite the cult status of the series.

Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC or CBCS services would significantly exceed the market value of the comic. Recommended for personal collection or 'dollar bin' discovery.
