$15 - $25 Raw; $75 - $110 Graded (9.8)
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for approximately $18 plus shipping. CGC 9.8 graded copies typically fetch between $85 and $115 depending on the auction platform.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if a 9.8 is guaranteed. While Peach Momoko's art is highly collectible, the current market value for a 9.4-9.6 doesn't significantly exceed the cost of grading and shipping fees. A professional press could potentially bump this to a 9.6 or 9.8.
Notable Features
Features a popular 'Anime Style' variant cover by Peach Momoko. Includes the legacy numbering LGY#7L indicated on the corner box. High-demand cover artist variant.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel product. Correct trade dress for the 2018 volume. Paper stock and printing quality are consistent with modern Marvel high-gloss productions. Barcode correctly identifies the variant (the last three digits '032' indicate issue 3, variant 2).
