Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.6+): $50 - $80
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar condition typically sell for $3 to $10 on secondary markets. High-grade slabbed copies are rare for this specific issue due to a lack of demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading ($25+) exceeds the current market value of the comic even in high grade. Only worth grading if for sentimental reasons.
