Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Heavy wear, significant creasing, spine roll, corner blunting, chipping at the bottom right corner, edge tears, and tanning/yellowing of the newsprint cover.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $5 - $15 USD. Graded value is not recommended due to low condition and cost of grading exceeding the book's value.
Recent Sales
Similar low-grade issues of 1970s Archie titles typically sell in the $5 to $10 range depending on platform and buyer interest.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading as the grading fees would far outweigh any potential market value increase for a low-grade reader copy.
Notable Features
Standard 1973 Silver/Bronze age Archie issue featuring 20 cent cover price, Comics Code Authority seal, and classic Dan DeCarlo style artwork.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1970s newsprint paper stock, typical ink dot patterns, and standard stapled binding consistent with vintage Archie publications.
