Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $4.00 to $15.00 depending on condition. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear on auction as it is not a high-demand investment book.

Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading fees ($25+) exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. It is best kept as a reading/collector copy for personal enjoyment.

Authentication Notes
Authentic Marvel periodical. Paper stock is heavier than standard comic interior pages to support poster durability. Color registration and gloss appear consistent with 2009 Marvel production standards.
