Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (9.4 - 9.6)
Condition Details
Appears remarkably sharp based on the provided digital image. Corners look crisp, and there are no visible spine ticks or color-breaking creases. As it is a virgin variant, the lack of trade dress makes imperfections easier to hide/see, and the surface appears glossy with no scuffing.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50; CGC 9.8: $100 - $130
Recent Sales
Copies have recently sold in the $35-$45 range for raw copies. 9.8 graded copies fluctuate depending on the specific Fan Expo location (e.g., Dallas, Canada) and the presence of signatures.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if seeking a 9.8 for a personal collection or to maximize resale value, as modern 'waifu' variants rely heavily on high grades. A professional press could ensure a 9.8.
