Estimated Market Value
Raw: $80 - $120; Graded (2.0): $150 - $200
Recent Sales
High-grade copies (9.0+) sell for $1,500+; lower grade sales (2.0-3.0 range) have fluctuated between $100 and $220 recently depending on eye appeal.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading in this condition unless for personal preservation. The estimated cost of grading fees and shipping would likely exceed the value added to a 2.0 copy.

Authentication Notes
Based on the internal indicia visible (25c price point, Neal Adams' signature style, and age-consistent paper toning), the book appears authentic. No obvious signs of restoration are visible from the photo, though the heavy wear is typical for newsstand copies of this era.
