Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good / Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Significant corner wear and paper loss at the bottom right corner (extending through the 'The Uncomplete Origin' text box). Noticeable spine stress and edge wear. A black marker signature/doodle is present on the left side of the cover over the background art. Possible humidity/moisture rippling indicated by the bottom edge condition.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 (due to damage); Graded (if verified sig): $25 - $40 (though grading is not recommended).
Recent Sales
High-grade copies (9.8) sell for $50-$70; mid-grade raw copies typically sell for under $10 on secondary markets.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The significant physical damage to the lower right corner and the presence of an unverified signature will result in a low technical grade/Qualified label, making grading costs exceed the book's value.
Notable Features
Anthology format featuring non-traditional DC artists. Features 'The Uncomplete Origin of the Bizarre' and a Bizarro-fied cover aesthetic with reversed text.
Authentication Notes
The book appears to be an authentic 2005 publication. The signature in black marker is unverified and would require specialized authentication from CBCS or remain a 'Qualified' mark by CGC.
