Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress with color-breaking ticks; significant blunting and creasing on the upper right and lower right corners; edge wear along the top; surface scuffing/gloss loss visible on the right side; potential slight spine roll; horizontal crease near the bottom right edge.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $4.00 | Graded: No significant data for this low grade, likely less than the cost of the grading fee itself ($15 - $20).
Recent Sales
Recent individual sales for this issue range from $1 to $5. It is frequently sold as part of bulk 'Outsiders' lots rather than a high-value standalone key.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The comic's market value is lower than the administrative and shipping costs associated with CGC or CBCS grading. Best kept in a bag and board (mylar) for protection.
Notable Features
Includes appearance by the Masters of Disaster. Features the work of Dan DiDio, who was the then-co-publisher of DC Comics. Standard Direct Edition UPC barcode on bottom left.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears to be an authentic 2010 DC publication based on the 'DC Star' logo, standard glossy paper stock consistent with the era, and the correct UPC suffix ('02711'). No signs of restoration or counterfeit observed.
