Before you buy or sell, check

• This issue had several printings and variant covers. The first-printing regular and variant covers are the most sought after; check the indicia for the printing.
• Modern books are mostly valuable in high grade, so condition matters a lot.

Then look up what copies in similar condition actually sold for. Prices for keys like this move with grade and with news about the character, so a recent sale tells you far more than a printed guide. Our guides on the grading scale and spotting reprints help you compare like with like.
