Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears to be in very high-grade condition within its poly-bag. Minor blunting is possible on the bottom left corner, and very faint spine stress might exist under the bag, but the high-gloss cover and white borders show no significant color-breaking flaws.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20.00 - $40.00 / Graded (9.8): $90.00 - $120.00
Recent Sales
Recent sales for modern 'The Crow' virgin variants range from $25 to $50 depending on the specific retailer and print run size.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if you are confident it will hit a 9.8 (Near Mint/Mint) grade. As a modern variant, the value in lower grades (9.0-9.4) often does not cover the cost of grading fees and shipping.
Notable Features
Virgin cover (no titles or trade dress), modern artwork by Svein Erik Abbas, features iconic gothic imagery associated with The Crow franchise.
Authentication Notes
The high paper quality, modern ink saturation, and specific art style of Svein Erik Abbas are consistent with recent IDW/independent variant releases.
