Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking vertical crease/indentation on the right side of the cover running through Link's hair down to the footer. Minor spine stress and slight corner blunting at the bottom right. Minor edge wear visible along the top.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8. Graded (9.8): $40 - $60.
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies sold on eBay range from $1.00 to $10.00 depending on condition. High-grade slabbed copies seldom appear at auction due to the low intrinsic value of the issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) exceeds the secondary market value of the comic. Additionally, the visible vertical crease would likely prevent a high grade (9.0+).
Notable Features
Free Comic Book Day giveaway. Features artwork by the legendary duo Akira Himekawa. Promotional crossover for the VIZ Media Legendary Edition manga releases.
Authentication Notes
Authentic FCBD release. Correct VIZ Media logo, 'Rated T for Teen' indicator, and paper stock typical of 2017 promotional manga samplers.
