Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
The book appears to be in high-grade condition within its bag. Spine looks flat with no visible color-breaking ticks. Corners appear sharp through the plastic. Minimal surface wear; however, definitive grading is limited by glare on the bag and some minor edge softness at top right.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00 | Graded (CGC 9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for cover price or slightly above ($4-$7). High-grade graded copies have settled significantly since the conclusion of the TV series hype.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The market value of a high-grade slabbed copy often barely covers the cost of grading, shipping, and fees. It is best kept as a high-quality reader or filler copy.
Notable Features
First issue of the 2017 series (DC Rebirth era). Features Batwoman (Kate Kane). Includes 'Next Level' branding in the corner box. Modern barcode (UPC) located at the bottom left.
Authentication Notes
Authentic DC product. Visual indicators such as the glossy finish typical of 2010s DC stock, accurate 'DC' bullet logo registration, and standard modern staple placement confirm authenticity.
