Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $4.00 to $12.00 depending on shipping. High-grade graded copies rarely appear for this specific non-key issue but generally sell close to the cost of grading.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection sentimental value. The cost of grading exceeds the current market value for this issue, as it is not a major key or a rare incentive variant.
Notable Features
This is the final issue of the first volume. The cover features a 'Super Valuable 50th Issue!' parody badge (referencing Skottie Young's 50th issue of work for Image), even though the actual issue number is #20. It includes the 'Fuck Fairyland' backup story.
Authentication Notes
The logo, trade dress, and Image Comics watermark match official 2018 production standards. Print registration is sharp. No signs of restoration or reproduction are visible.
