Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Extensive spine wear with multiple breaks, significant color-breaking creases across the cover, heavy corner blunting, possible surface moisture staining on upper left, and a notable surface scuff/tear in the Batman logo area.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20; Graded: $40 - $50 (due to low grade)
Recent Sales
High-grade copies (9.0+) sell for $150+, but heavily worn treasury editions frequently sell for under $25 at auction.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The condition is too low to recoup the costs of grading and oversized slab shipping fees.
Notable Features
Treasury-sized format (10 x 13.5 inches). Features the iconic showdown between Batman and the Incredible Hulk. Includes Joker and Shaper of Worlds cameos.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 1981 Treasury Edition printing. The cover gloss and 'DC and Marvel' trade dress are correct for the era. Significant wear matches aging patterns of oversized newsprint stock from this period.
