Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25–$45; Graded 7.0: $70–$90 (Note: UK variants are niche and often trade near US cents copy values unless highly graded).
Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-to-high grade raw copies typically fall in the $30 range. CGC 9.4/9.6 copies of this issue have sold for $150-$250 recently, though UK variants can fetch a small premium from specific collectors or sell at a discount to regular US editions depending on the buyer.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for professional grading at this grade level unless for personal preservation. The cost of grading plus shipping would exceed the current market value of a 7.0 copy. Professional pressing could potentially bump this to a 7.5 or 8.0.
