Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for original cover price ($1.50) to $5 in lots. High-grade slabbed copies rarely exceed $60 due to high supply and low key-issue status.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS submission would exceed the market value of the comic. The presence of the adhesive sticker and surface scuffs likely limit it to a mid-to-high grade that does not command a premium.
Notable Features
Features cover art by industry legend Bill Sienkiewicz. This version of Supergirl is the 'Matrix' shapeshifter, an artificial life form created in a pocket dimension by a heroic Lex Luthor.
