Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent sales for high-grade raw copies typically fall between $5 and $10. Graded copies of this specific run (Volume 2) are less frequent in the market compared to the original Kirby run.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would exceed the current market value of the comic. It is best kept in a bag and board as a reader or filler copy.
Notable Features
Features the 'New Format' branding which DC used for higher-quality paper stock in the late 80s. This series is a reimagining of the original Fourth World characters created by Jack Kirby.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic. The 'New Format' printing is consistent with DC's 1988 Baxter paper stock (higher quality than standard newsprint). Staple placement and ink density on the 'Forever People' logo are correct for the period.
