Recent Sales
Recent raw sales on eBay range from $3.00 to $12.00 depending on condition. CGC 9.8 copies have recently sold for approximately $70.00.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC grading ($30+) exceeds the raw market value, and the condition is unlikely to hit the 9.8 grade necessary to make a profit.
