Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and ticks visible; several color-breaking creases along the spine and edges. Significant corner blunting on the top right. Large orange price sticker attached directly to the cover surface which will likely leave residue or cause surface damage upon removal. Visible surface scuffing and minor soiling on white background areas.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (estimated 6.0): $25 - $35
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar mid-to-high grade condition typically sell for $10-$15. High-grade (CGC 9.8) copies sell for approximately $100-$125.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The current estimated grade is low due to the price sticker and spine wear. The cost of grading (plus pressing/cleaning) would exceed the estimated market value of a mid-grade copy.
Notable Features
First Issue of the miniseries. Features Jason Todd. Direct Edition with Barcode present.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic based on correct logo placement, trade dress, and 'Direct Sales' barcode (00111). Printing quality and paper stock are consistent with DC Comics' early 2010s output.
