Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for used copies of this specific volume range from $18.00 to $30.00 depending on the level of shelf wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. This is a trade collection/hardcover rather than a single issue, and the visible damage to the spine and jacket surface would result in a low technical grade, making the cost of grading exceed the book's value.
Notable Features
Includes the crossover with Tom Strange; features 'America's Best Comics' characters; hardcover format with dust jacket; collects the middle portion of Alan Moore's original run.
Authentication Notes
None. The book is a standard modern hardcover collection. The shrink wrap or protective baggie appears heavily wrinkled, which may be exaggerating some surface wear in the image.
