Visible minor spine stress ticks that appear to break color. Slight blunting on the top and bottom right corners. Minor surface wear on dark ink areas. General appearance is clean with good gloss, but exhibits typical handling wear of a non-pressed Bronze/Copper age book.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded (9.8): $60 - $80; Estimated as-is: $12 - $15.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies generally fall between $4 and $12 depending on condition. Graded 9.8 copies have sold for roughly $75.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The fair market value of this issue is relatively low, and the grading fees would likely exceed the final value of the book. It is a great reader copy or mid-tier collector's filler.
Notable Features
Features the 'The New DC' marketing banner in the bottom left corner. This is the Direct Edition (denoted by the logo in place of a barcode).
Authentication Notes
The book appears authentic with correct period-specific matte/gloss cover finish, correct staple placement for 1984 DC distribution, and legitimate Eduardo Barreto signature in the artwork field.
