Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; Graded (9.8): $40.00 - $60.00 (Note: The low value makes this issue rarely worth grading).
Recent Sales
Recent sales for low-to-mid grade Harvey titles from this era typically fluctuate between $2 and $5 in bulk lots or local dollar bins.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) would exceed the market value of the book. The condition is approximately a 4.0 due to heavy spine wear and paper discoloration.
Notable Features
Includes a barcode (Newsstand); tagline 'Big Busine$$ Thrill$ 'N' Laff$'; cover features Richie and Freckles carrying a giant 'sandwich'.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1980s Harvey Comic based on typical newsstand barcode, paper stock discoloration, and the specific 60c price point common to 1982 publications.
