Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. Slight blunting on the bottom right corner. Very minor corner wear on the top left. Surfaces appear glossy and flat, but the stack shows a slight roll or curve from storage in a box.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8. Graded (9.8): $40 - $65.
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. High-grade 9.8 slabs have historically fluctuated between $35 and $70 depending on demand for Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond) keys.
Grading Recommendation
Not generally recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$40) often exceeds the market value of the book unless it is a guaranteed 9.8. Cleaning and pressing could improve the spine marks, but value remains low due to high print volume.
Notable Features
First appearance of Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond) in the mainstream DC Universe continuity (New 52). Includes the 'Free Comic Book Day' banner at the top right. Features a UPC with '00011' identifying it as the standard FCBD release.
