Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $60 - $90
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $10. High-grade slabbed copies infrequently appear and command higher premiums from character completists.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS fees + shipping) would likely exceed the market value of the book. It is a great candidate for a protective bag and board for a personal collection.
