Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
Generally sharp corners; very minor blunting on the bottom right corner; some slight surface scuffing or fingerprinting possible on the matte black finish which is common for this issue; spine appears tight with no visible color-breaking stress ticks.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $4.00 - $6.00; Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $45.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from MSRP ($4.99) to $7.00. High-grade slabbed copies have limited data due to recent release but generally track near the cost of the grading fee for modern standard covers.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection. As a modern common release with a high print run, the cost of grading ($35+) likely exceeds the market value of the book.
Notable Features
First issue of the Mad Cave Studios 10th Anniversary relaunch; features the 'Mad Cave 10 Year Anniversary' logo on the top left; modern noir art style.
Authentication Notes
Authentic modern comic. Features standard modern high-gloss/matte paper stock, precise corner trimming, and digital printing markers consistent with Mad Cave Studios production.
