Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $12.00; Graded (CGC 2.0): Approximately $25.00 - $35.00 (grading costs would exceed value).
Recent Sales
Copies in mid-grade (6.0-7.0) typically sell for $15-$25. Low-grade reading copies like this one often sell in the $5 range and are frequently found in bargain bins.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (shipping and fees) far outweighs the market value of the book in this condition. It is best kept as a reading copy or for personal collection in its current state.
Notable Features
Bronze Age DC War comic; 20-cent cover price variant; Joe Kubert cover art; Haunted Tank feature.
Authentication Notes
Colors and logo placement appear consistent with 1973 DC Bronze Age standards. No obvious signs of reproduction, though the presence of the poly-bag makes a definitive paper-stock assessment difficult.
