Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $4.00. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear at auction due to low demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the book. The adhesive sticker on the cover would also negatively impact the grade unless professionally removed without residue.
