Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine/Near Mint (CGC 9.0)
Condition Details
The comic appears to be in a protective bag with some minor handling wear visible on the outer edges and bag. The book itself shows minimal spine stress, sharp corners with very slight blunting on the bottom right corner, flat cover gloss, and intact staples with no major color-breaking creases visible through the polybag.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $15 - $30 USD; Graded CGC 9.0 to 9.2 value ranges from $40 - $70 USD depending on current market trends.
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for raw copies of Batman #7 (First Printing) in similar condition generally range between $20 and $35 USD.
Grading Recommendation
Professional grading is likely not cost-effective for a raw copy in the 9.0 range, as grading and shipping fees can exceed the added value of the slab. It is better kept raw unless part of a complete high-grade New 52 run.
Notable Features
Direct Edition with UPC barcode box in the bottom left. Part of the landmark New 52 relaunch and the highly sought-after 'Night of the Owls' storyline by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.
Authentication Notes
Standard DC Comics New 52 trade dress, correct logo placement, Direct Sales barcode box, and standard newsprint/paper stock typical of 2012 publications. No apparent signs of counterfeiting.
