Moderate spine stress visible on the left edge with several color-breaking ticks. Top left corner shows minor impact blunting. Bottom right corner appears relatively sharp, but surface shows some fingerprints and light handling wear typical of semi-gloss to matte cardstock covers.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $4.99 to $9.00 depending on condition. High-grade slabbed copies have sold between $45 and $55.
