Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $45; Graded (9.8): $120 - $150

Recent raw sales for mid-to-high grade first printings have fluctuated between $35 and $50. CGC 9.8 copies consistently sell in the $130 range.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended if a 9.8 is achievable after a professional press. As part of a highly collected run (Snyder/Capullo), the value differential between raw and high-grade slabs is significant.
