Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fair/Good (CGC 1.5)
Condition Details
Heavy spine stress and multiple color-breaking creases along the spine; significant water damage or large stains visible on the right edge and bottom right corner; heavy corner blunting; surface scuffing and multiple non-color breaking creases across the main cover art; overall heavy wear suggesting poor storage.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $10; Graded: Not recommended due to low condition.
Recent Sales
High-grade copies of this specific promotional special usually sell for $20-$40, but items in this heavily damaged condition often sell for under $10 as 'reader copies'.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading service ($25+) would exceed the market value of the book in this condition. A professional press would not fix the color-breaking creases or staining.
Notable Features
Skybound brand logo; Two Day Special title. Features iconic characters from the prison-era storyline of the comic.
Authentication Notes
The logo placement and artist signatures (Kirkman, Adlard, Rathburn) match known promotional variants. The ink saturation and paper aging appear consistent with mid-2010s Image promotional publications.
