Recent Sales
Recent sales for the Parel variant have fluctuated following the DCU movie announcement. Raw copies consistently sell in the $35-$50 range, while CGC 9.8 copies have reached $130+ depending on market demand.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if it can achieve a 9.8 grade. Given the current visual inspection (estimated 9.4-9.6), a professional clean and press is recommended to maximize the chance of a 9.8. If it falls below a 9.6, the cost of grading may outweigh the value increase over a raw copy.
Notable Features
Features a 'Supergirl Day' trade dress element. This series is the primary inspiration for the upcoming DC Universe film 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.' This specific cover is a highly sought-after variant by Gerald Parel.
