Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $60 / Graded (9.8): $125 - $200
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for this limited ashcan have fluctuated between $25 and $55 depending on condition; graded copies are scarce due to the recent and promotional nature of the release.
Grading Recommendation
Potential candidate for grading if it can achieve a 9.8 (Near Mint/Mint) grade. As an ashcan (promotional preview), its value depends heavily on high-grade scarcity. Professional pressing is recommended to fix minor edge ripples.
