Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress with color-breaking ticks. Significant corner blunting on the bottom right and top right. Minor surface wear and edge whitening along the top edge. The cover appears to have a slight vertical wave indicative of non-bagged storage.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (9.0+): $80 - $120
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition have sold between $18 and $22 on eBay. 9.8 graded copies consistently reach $250+.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading in current condition. Unless the comic is a 9.6 or 9.8, the cost of grading often exceeds the market value. Pressing could improve the grade by removing waves, but the color-breaking spine ticks are permanent flaws.
