Estimated Market Value
Raw (VF): $150 - $200; Graded (9.0+): $350 - $600
Recent Sales
CGC 9.4 copies recently sold for approximately $450-$550. Raw high-grade copies (VF/NM range) consistently sell between $180 and $250 due to the key significance.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended for grading. This is a major key issue (1st appearance of the New Teen Titans). Even in Mid-to-High grade, the value increases significantly once authenticated and slabbed. A professional cleaner/presser could potentially bump this to an 8.5 or 9.0.
Notable Features
First appearance of the New Teen Titans (Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire) and the first appearance of the team as a whole in their modern iteration. Iconic cover art by Jim Starlin. Newsstand edition with UPC barcode.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Bronze Age DC publication. Correct paper stock (newsprint interiors), price of 50 cents, and proper ink saturation for the period. No signs of restoration are visible in the photograph.
