Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $6; Graded (9.8): $25 - $35
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies typically sell for cover price ($2.99) to $5.00 on secondary markets. High-grade slabbed copies have very low liquidity as this is not a major key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the projected market value of the comic. Best kept as a reader copy or in a bag/board for personal collection.
Notable Features
Includes a Direct Edition UPC barcode. Features the 'Ultimate' version of Wolverine on the cover. Written by Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 2007 Marvel publication. It shows correct paper stock thickness for the era, standard staples, and accurate color saturation for the Ultimate line's 'modern' printing process.
