Recent Sales
Standard issues sell for $2-$5; signed preview copies occasionally reach $15-$25 on secondary collector markets depending on the completion of the signature and the venue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market value of this specific title is low, and the signature, while adding personal value, would likely receive a 'Qualified' (Green) label from CGC since it was not witnessed by them, which typically lowers marketability compared to a Blue label.
Notable Features
This is a promotional preview book released prior to the main series launch. It features a signature by writer Dan Jolley. Top Cow Minotaur Press imprint branding is prominent.
Authentication Notes
The signature appears consistent with Dan Jolley's known autograph style and date-marking from the early 2000s. The paper stock and gloss are consistent with Image/Top Cow production standards from 2001.
