Value history

grailworth's fair market value: what a copy at each grade is worth today, from this issue's market and how value moves with grade across every comic we track. Bold: our firmest values. ^*Rough: a looser estimate. +$: worth grading, a raw copy at that grade gains this much slabbed by CGC, after the fee and shipping. Pick a grade for its value history and the most to pay for a raw copy you'd send to CGC.

The stories

“The Mad Maestro!”

“The Pilgrims”

“"Hi, Bombo!"”

Mr. Biltybux visits the circus he owns. He tells Bombo that he wants to look around, incognito. Tippy arranges for Biltybux to become a member of the clown troupe. Circus boss Snark throws Biltybux out but apologises when Bombo informs him that the new "clown" is the owner. Biltybux agrees not to fire Snark but forces him to endure abuse as a temporary clown to learn humility.
