Era / Decade
2020s (specifically May 2023 for Free Comic Book Day)
Material
Standard modern comic book paper stock with a semi-glossy cover
Condition
Fair to Poor. The most significant issue is the heavy vertical spine damage and what appears to be missing chunks or separation from the back staples. The front cover shows surface wear and edge denting.
Demand Level
Low. While Star Wars comics are popular, this was a high-print-run free item and is currently available in near-mint condition for very low prices.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Due to the severe condition issues, it has little to no value for collectors)
Estimated Retail Value
$0.00 (Originally distributed for free on Free Comic Book Day)
Comparable Sales
Near Mint (NM) copies currently sell for $2.00-$5.00 on eBay. Copies in this 'Poor' condition frequently go unsold or are found in $0.50 bins at local comic shops.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for a local garage sale or as a 'throw-in' bonus for a larger Star Wars bundle on Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Do not sell as a standalone item due to shipping costs exceeding the book's value. List alongside other Star Wars memorabilia to make the shipping 'worth it' for the buyer. Use 'Reader Copy' or 'Good for Kids to read' in the listing description to manage expectations regarding the damage.
