Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good/Very Good (CGC 3.0)
Condition Details
Heavy spine wear with significant color-breaking stress ticks; visible fraying and chipping along the top edge; blunted corners; surface scuffing/staining; and a large gold ink inscription ('To Em, Party on, dude!') and signature on the cover which technically qualifies as 'writing on cover' for grading purposes.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (with inscription): $3 - $8 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Standard raw copies recently sell for $4-$10. Authenticated signed copies can fetch $20-$30, but personalized inscriptions usually lower the collector value compared to a clean signature.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The physical wear (chipping, spine stress) combined with a personalized inscription makes the cost of grading significantly higher than the market value of the book.
Notable Features
First issue of the miniseries. Features a personalized inscription in gold ink. UPC code 844284005257 00111 indicates Direct Edition Cover A.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic BOOM! Studios publication from 2016 based on the cover gloss and trade dress. The signature/inscription is in gold paint pen; while it appears consistent with common fan-convention signatures, it is not authenticated by a witness service like CGC Signature Series.
