Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress ticks along the left edge. Minor corner blunting on the top right. Surface glare on bag makes fine scratches hard to detect, but a yellow price sticker is affixed to the bag (or potentially the comic). Slight edge wear visible on the bottom right corner.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $5.00; Graded (9.8): $25.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for this issue typically range from $2 to $5 on secondary markets like eBay. 9.8 graded copies occasionally sell for slightly above the cost of the grading fee.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The market value for a modern non-key issue in this condition does not justify the grading fees ($25+). The visible spine ticks would prevent it from achieving a 9.8 grade.
Notable Features
DC Black Label (Ages 17+); Prestige format cardstock cover; First appearance of the 'Reptilian' creature (shadowed/teased).
Authentication Notes
Authentic modern prestige format book. Features thick cover stock and high-gloss interior pages characteristic of the DC Black Label line.
