Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (9.8): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Sold primarily through crowdfunding platforms and small indie distributors. Secondary market movement is low, typically selling for near original MSRP ($15-$25 for similar indie first issues).
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection sentimental value. As an independent press title with low secondary market liquidity, the cost of grading would likely exceed the immediate resale profit.
Notable Features
Independently published through a successful Kickstarter campaign. Low print run characteristic of boutique indie publishers. Stylized 'Virgin' cover art without excessive trade dress on the right-hand side.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with Whitefire Comics production standards. Features a high-gloss cardstock cover and modern digital printing. The stylized 'JZ' signature in the bottom left corner is the characteristic mark of the series artist.
