Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $18 to $30 depending on whether it is the Trade or Virgin variant. 9.8 graded copies have stabilized below $100.

Not recommended for grading unless a pressing can remove the white scuff mark on the lower left. In current condition, grading costs would likely exceed the value increase. Estimated grade 9.2-9.4.
