The book appears remarkably flat with vibrant colors. Minor spine stress is visible along the left edge. Slight blunting on the bottom-right corner. Minimal surface wear consistent with being stored in a stack.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies have sold for $2.00 to $5.00 on secondary platforms. High-grade slabbed copies infrequently appear and trade for the cost of grading plus a small premium.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading ($25+) exceeds the market value of the book. It is best kept as a collectible for fans of The Simpsons or FCBD completions.
Notable Features
Features parodies of various comic book covers on the front (Batcat, Enter the Ant, etc.). Includes a 15th-anniversary header for Free Comic Book Day. Contains a UPC barcode in the lower-left corner, typical for Bongo's FCBD releases.
Authentication Notes
The glossy paper stock and high-resolution printing of the Bongo logo are consistent with official 2016 FCBD releases. There are no known counterfeits of this specific promotional issue.
