Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of shipping and grading fees far exceeds the market value of a modern reprint.
Notable Features
This is a modern reprint. The original 1968 version would have a '25 cent' price tag and different logo placement. This version features the modern 'Marvel' red block logo at the bottom which did not exist in 1968.
Authentication Notes
The item is a modern reprint/facsimile as indicated by the modern Marvel trade dress and the lack of a 25-cent price box in the top left. The source URL 'ragincanadiancomics.ca' and the $5.00 CAD price point further confirm this is a modern reading copy, not the 1968 key issue.
