Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this variant average around $5.00 plus shipping. Graded 9.8 copies have recently sold in the $35 range, which is slightly above the cost of the grading fee alone.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection sentimental value. The market value for a 9.8 copy is currently close to the shipping and grading costs (CGC/CBCS), resulting in little to no profit margin.
Notable Features
Features a striking Jorge Fornés variant cover paying homage to the classic Batman aesthetic. This is a Direct Market variant cover. It contains a standard UPC with the variant identifier in the barcode string.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic modern DC comic. The paper stock is the standard glossy finish used by DC in 2019. Modern counterfeits of this specific issue are non-existent due to its high print run and low secondary market value.
