Condition Details

Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15; Graded (CGC 9.8): $60 - $80
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition have sold for approximately $10-$12. Graded 9.8 copies fluctuate between $65 and $90 depending on market demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection sentimental value. While it is a high-grade copy, the current market value of a 9.8 barely covers the costs of grading, shipping, and insurance fees.
