Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded (9.8): $60 - $85
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific Momoko FOC variant range between $12 and $30 depending on condition. CGC 9.8 copies have settled near the $75 mark after an initial launch spike.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended only if the owner is certain it will hit a 9.8 grade. For a 9.4/9.6, the cost of grading and shipping may exceed the market value of the slab. A clean and press could help secure a higher grade.
Notable Features
First issue of the series. This is the 'Final Order Cutoff' (FOC) Reveal Virgin Variant by Peach Momoko, which features no title or trade dress on the cover artwork.
Authentication Notes
The cover features Momoko's signature watercolor/ink style and the specific paper stock used by Boom! Studios for this release. The lack of title and barcodes identifies it specifically as the virgin variant.
