Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (9.0+): $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. High-grade (9.8) slabs have sold in the range of $50-$70, but lower grades fetch very little over the cost of grading.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic shows significant wear that would likely result in a mid-range grade (6.0-7.0). The cost of grading would exceed the final market value of the book.
Notable Features
Early appearance of Vandal Savage in the post-Crisis era. Includes the Flash logo in the UPC box area, signifying a Direct Market copy.
