Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress visible along the left edge. Slight blunting on the top right corner. The polybag/sleeve causes some glare, but the surface appears flat with high gloss. No visible color-breaking creases on the face.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded (CGC 9.8): $50 - $75
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $10-15 plus shipping. CGC 9.8 copies have stabilized around $60 recently, down from heights during initial release hype.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless a 9.8 is guaranteed. The cost of grading ($30+) plus shipping often exceeds the value of a raw copy unless it hits the highest possible tier. A press and clean might improve a 9.4 to a 9.6, but rarely justifies the cost for this specific modern issue.
Notable Features
First printing; Created by Keanu Reeves; First appearance of Berzerker (B.); One of the most successful Kickstarter/indie launches of the decade; Soon to be a Netflix live-action film and anime series.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic first printing. The 'Grampa' signature at the bottom right is printed as part of the cover art. Card stock quality appears consistent with Boom! Studios 2021 production standards.
