Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from MSRP ($4.99) to $9.00 depending on shipping. As a very recent release, secondary market premiums have not yet spiked for this specific cover.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading currently unless seeking a personal slabbed copy. The cost of grading (approx $35-50) exceeds the current market value of a high-grade copy. Excellent candidate for 'Pressing' if grading is pursued to remove minor surface ripples.

Authentic modern comic. Characteristic glossy heavy paper stock used for DC's premium $4.99 price point. Modern digital printing with crisp line work and accurate color saturation.
