Condition Details
The comic appears to be in high-grade condition through the polybag. Expect minor spine ticks or slight corner blunting typical of modern books. Gloss is excellent. No color-breaking creases are visible on the front cover face.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded (CGC 9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for cover price or slightly above. Graded sales are infrequent as this is not a high-value key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $30-50) exceeds the secondary market value of the book. It is best kept in its current bag and board for preservation.
