Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for original cover price or slightly more ($4-$10) on secondary markets like eBay. Graded copies are rare due to low demand relative to grading costs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current condition (approx. 6.0) and the high cost of grading fees would exceed the market value of the book. Keep as a reader copy.
Notable Features
Includes a free mini-poster insert. The cover is a parody of Carl Barks' iconic Uncle Scrooge #1 cover. Features Bongo Comics logo and $3.99 price point.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. Correct Bongo Comics trade dress, UPC placement (bottom left), and Matt Groening signature on cover art. Paper stock appears consistent with mid-2000s Bongo publications.
