Raw: $5 - $15, Graded (CGC 9.8): $40 - $60
Recent Sales

Grading Recommendation
Not generally worth professional grading (CGC/CBCS) due to low modern market value unless for personal collection preference, as grading costs would exceed the potential value increase.

Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard DC trade dress, proper coloring, and fonts consistent with 1990 publications, though full verification requires removing the bag.
