Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for approximately $4 - $8 including shipping. Graded 9.8 copies typically sell for around the cost of grading plus a small premium.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market value of this specific modern issue does not justify the cost of CGC/CBCS fees unless it is a guaranteed 9.8 or 9.9, which this likely is not due to minor corner and spine wear.
