Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0) to Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Heavy edge wear, severe creasing and bending near the top and right edges, blunted and rounded corners, spine roll and spine stress lines, surface scuffing, and noticeable tanning/yellowing along the borders.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $2.00 - $5.00. Graded value: Not economically viable for grading at this condition level.
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for mid-to-high grade copies range between $5.00 and $15.00, but lower grade copies with heavy wear typically sell for very little or as part of reader-copy lots.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The grading and slab fees would far exceed the market value of the comic in this condition.
