Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0 estimate)
Condition Details
Visible red circular sticker on the top right corner of the bag/board (possibly on the cover surface or polybag). Minor blunting on the bottom left corner. Some light surface wear and possible minor spine ticks hidden by bag glare. The red sticker is the most significant visual detractor if adhered to the actual book.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2.00 to $6.00 plus shipping. High-grade graded copies rarely appear at auction as solo items.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$50) exceeds the market value of the book. The red sticker, if on the book itself, would significantly lower the technical grade.
Notable Features
Jack Kirby 100th Birthday tribute logo on cover; cover art by legendary artist Frank Miller; contains a 'round-robin' style concluding story.
Authentication Notes
Modern era printing with standard gloss cover stock and barcode. Authenticated by the 2017/2018 trade dress, DC logo style, and creator credits at the bottom.
