Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1 - $3; Graded (9.8): Approximately $30-$50. In current condition, it carries very little monetary value.
Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The visible horizontal crease and spine damage significantly lowering the grade below the 'collectible' threshold of 9.4+. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book.
