Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears to be in high-grade condition. There is slight rounding visible on the top right corner and minor reflection at the spine edge that may indicate very small stress marks, typical for thicker chromatic or foil cardstock used on this incentive issue.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $300 - $450; Graded (9.8): $700 - $1,100
Recent Sales
The 1:1000 variant has seen significant volatility. High-grade 9.8 copies have sold between $800 and $1,200 in the last year, while raw copies average around $400 depending on the seller.
Grading Recommendation
Highly Recommended. Because this is a high-ratio 1-case-per-1000-copies incentive, the value gap between raw and a 9.8 grade is substantial. Professional pressing is advised to remove any non-color breaking surface dimples common on foil covers.
Notable Features
First appearance of B. (Berzerker). This is the '1 in 1000' ultra-rare virgin foil incentive. It features a minimalist, artistic depiction of the main character in armor with blood splatter.
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss foil finish and specific weight of the cardstock used by BOOM! Studios for this tier of incentive are difficult to forge. The lack of trade dress (logos/text) on the cover is correct for this specific virgin variant.
