Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (CGC 9.8): $75 - $110
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for CGC 9.8 copies range from $80 to $105 plus shipping. Raw copies sell consistently for around cover price to $20.
Grading Recommendation
The book is already professionally graded by CGC as a 9.8. Re-grading is not recommended as 9.8 is the standard high grade for modern books; obtaining a 9.9 or 10.0 is statistically unlikely.
Notable Features
Features a variant cover by popular artist InHyuk Lee. Includes the 'All-New Venom?' teaser trade dress. This issue is part of the climactic end of Donny Cates' celebrated run on the title.
Authentication Notes
CGC hologram and serial number (visible on the top label) verify the authenticity of both the comic and the grade. The blue label indicates a 'Universal' grade with no significant defects or restoration.
