Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30 - $50 | Graded (9.8): $150 - $200
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of the 1:10 B&W variant range from $35 to $60 depending on condition. 9.8 graded copies have seen a slight decline from peaks but remain strong due to the series' cult following.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if it can achieve a 9.6 or 9.8 after a professional press; however, the visible spine ticks suggest a grade in the 9.0-9.2 range, which may not yield a high return on investment given grading fees.
Notable Features
First appearance of Lews Therin Telamon and Ishamael in comics. This is the 1:10 black and white incentive variant, which is significantly rarer than the standard color cover.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Dynamite Entertainment production. Correct UPC for the variant (725130142085). Note the high-gloss cover finish and standard modern paper stock typical of 2010 Dynamite releases.
