Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Book is sealed inside a protective plastic bag with tape across the top edge. Minor glare and reflections on the plastic cover make exact minor spine tick analysis difficult, but corners appear sharp with minimal shelf wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $15 - $25; Graded (CGC 9.0/9.4): $40 - $75
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have traded consistently in the $15 to $20 range depending on buyer demand.
Grading Recommendation
Moderate value; grading may be worthwhile if high grade (9.6 or 9.8) can be confirmed out of the bag, but at a 9.0 grade, the cost of professional grading might outweigh the value increase.
Notable Features
Features painted artwork by Gabriele Dell'Otto and part of the critically acclaimed Brian Michael Bendis event miniseries.
Authentication Notes
Standard Marvel PSR (Marvel Parental Advisory/Explicit Content) branding present in the top-left corner, standard gloss finish and clear typography indicative of an authentic first printing.
