Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0) to Very Fine (CGC 8.0) - Appraisal limited by bag/sticker
Condition Details
Visible green price sticker on the top right of the bag (not on the book itself, but adhesive residue is a risk). Visible spine stress marks and slight corner blunting on the bottom left. The glare from the plastic bag hides potential surface scratches, but the book appears flat with decent color vibrancy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific variant range from cover price ($3.99) to approximately $7.00 depending on shipping. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies routinely sell for under $50.00.
Grading Recommendation
