Individual raw copies generally sell for cover price or slightly above. Bulk lots of New 52 Green Arrow issues often average $2 per issue. High grade graded copies have low liquidity due to low demand for this specific non-key issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service exceeds the market value of the comic. Even a 9.8 grade would likely not turn a profit after fees and shipping costs.
