Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint- (CGC 9.2)
Condition Details
The comic is bagged and boarded with an attached Midtown Comics Certificate of Authenticity sticker on the outside of the bag. The book appears generally flat and crisp with sharp corners, though minor handling wear and subtle spine stress might be present beneath the protective sleeve.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $25 - $50. Graded (CGC/CBCS 9.6 or 9.8 with verified signature series): $80 - $150.
Recent Sales
Recent hot demand for the DC All In initiative and Absolute Universe titles, particularly store exclusive variants with certificates of authenticity, has driven up modern collector pricing.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if submitting through a verified witness program to authenticate the signature. Otherwise, standard modern raw value may not offset the cost of grading unless it achieves a high 9.8 grade.
