Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded (9.8): $35 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent sales for raw copies range between $2.50 and $5.00 plus shipping. High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear at auction as it is not a major key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading fees, shipping, and insurance would far exceed the current market value of the book. It is a great reader copy or collection filler.
