Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Near Mint (CGC 9.4)
Condition Details
Appears to be in nice, crisp condition inside a protective bag and board. Minor edge wear or tiny spine ticks may be present upon closer direct inspection outside the bag, but no major creases, tears, or color breaks are visible.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $15 - $30. Graded CGC 9.8 potential value: $60 - $100 depending on variant demand.
Recent Sales
High demand upon release as part of DC's All In initiative, with multiple raw copies selling consistently near cover price or slightly above due to Jim Lee variant popularity.
Grading Recommendation
Not immediately worth professional grading unless aiming for a guaranteed 9.8 for a personal collection, as modern high-print variant books often cost more to grade than the value increase.
Notable Features
Part of the DC All In initiative, features a dramatic Jim Lee variant cover, cardstock cover stock, and a $5.99 cover price.
Authentication Notes
Standard modern DC direct market publication with clear UPC barcode, proper cardstock texture, and sharp color registration typical of first printings.
