Condition Details
Visible price sticker on upper right logo area (highly detrimental unless removed safely); minor spine stress/ticks; slight corner blunting on lower right; minor scuffing on the light-colored background common for this cover; bagging suggests it has been protected, but the sticker is directly on the cover or the polybag.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $6; Graded (9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for local comic shop bin prices ($3-$5). Recent eBay sales for slabbed 9.8 copies range between $45 and $55.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book for this specific issue. It is a common 'dollar bin' era book unless in absolute pristine 9.8 condition.
Notable Features
Crossover with Suicide Squad. Iconic Kevin Maguire cover art featuring the team being held in a giant robotic hand. Direct Edition (indicated by the character graphic in the UPC box).
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1988 copper-age DC publication. Paper stock is standard newsprint/mando of the era. No signs of restoration visible through the bag.
