Recent Sales
Recent raw copies sold for approximately $6.50 on eBay. CGC 9.8 copies have trended between $55 and $68.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of grading exceeds the current market value for raw copies, and only a 9.8 grade would likely break even on costs.
