Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $6; Graded (9.8): $30 - $45
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold consistently in the $2 to $5 range on secondary markets like eBay. It is not a high-demand key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS fees plus shipping) significantly exceeds the market value of the book. It is best kept as a reader copy or in a bag and board for a personal collection.
Notable Features
Features the New 52 version of Ray Palmer (The Atom). Includes the 'Batman 75' anniversary logo in the bottom right corner. Direct Sales edition with UPC barcode.
Authentication Notes
Standard modern copper-age/modern-age print quality. The paper is high-quality gloss stock. No signs of counterfeiting as this is not a high-value target for forgeries.
