Not worth professional grading. The cost of grading (approx $25+) exceeds the market value of a 2.0 copy of this common Silver/Bronze Age humor title.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The 15-cent price point, DC Bullet logo, and specific aging pattern of the newsprint are consistent with a genuine 1970 DC publication.
