Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The comic is in high-grade condition. Visible through the polybag, corners appear sharp and the spine shows no significant stress. There is a very slight potential for minor manufacturing handling or minor corner blunting on the bottom right corner, common for modern shelf copies.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $4.00 - $6.00; Graded (CGC 9.8): $35.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
This is a new release; local comic shops are selling at the $4.99 cover price. Secondary market sales for modern 9.8 copies typically settle near the cost of grading plus cover price.
Grading Recommendation
Not independently worth the cost of professional grading unless part of a bulk submission for a personal collection. As a modern non-key issue, the cost of grading usually exceeds the instant market value.

Authentication Notes
Authentic modern DC comic. Features standard glossy cover stock, trade dress, and 'DC All In' branding. Barcode ends in '15311', confirming it as issue 153, cover A, first printing.
