Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint- (CGC 9.2)
Condition Details
The comic is enclosed in a protective bag and board. It presents with very crisp corners, vibrant cover colors, and minimal handling wear. Minor spine stress lines may be present upon close unbagged inspection, but overall structural integrity is high.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5.00 - $10.00. Graded (CGC 9.8) potential value: $40.00 - $60.00.
Recent Sales
Selling consistently around cover price ($4.99) to $8.00 raw in local comic shops and online marketplaces.
Grading Recommendation
For a modern comic with a cover price of $4.99, professional grading is generally not cost-effective unless it expects a guaranteed CGC 9.8 and has high long-term speculative value. Keeping it raw in a current bag and board is recommended.
Notable Features
Part of the DC All In initiative, featuring a striking painted cover by Christian Ward.
Authentication Notes
Standard modern DC Comics production qualities observed, including clear barcode with $4.99 USD cover price, standard glossy cardstock cover, and clean interior newsprint typical of contemporary releases.
