Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Extensive damage visible on the bottom left corner including heavy color-breaking creases and significant laminate peeling/scuffing. Distinct spine roll and edge wear. Notable corner blunting on the top right.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20 USD. Due to condition and the nature of the book (a price guide), it has minimal investment value compared to a collector's copy.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for NM copies range from $30-$45. Copies in this lower condition typically sell for under $15 at auction or as used reference material.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. This is a reference book rather than a standard comic; grading costs would significantly exceed the book's market value, especially in VG condition.
Notable Features
This specific edition celebrates the 100th anniversary of Jack Kirby's birth. It is the Adam Hughes variant cover depicting Kirby's New Gods/Pro-Junior era designs.
Authentication Notes
Official Gemstone Publishing product. Authentic used copy. No concerns regarding counterfeiting as price guides are rarely faked.
