Grading Recommendation
Optional. While a silver age key, a 6.0 grade might only see a modest ROI after grading fees ($40+) and shipping. Pressing could potentially raise this to a 6.5 or 7.0, making professional grading more viable.
Notable Features
Inter-dimensional crossover event. Notable for featuring the Earth-2 Justice Society characters. Silver Age DC key issue. Features Solomon Grundy and Blockbuster.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic based on the 12-cent price point, the 'checkerboard' DC trade dress (typical of 1966), and the Ben-Day dots visible in the color registration. Staple placement appears consistent with mid-60s DC manufacturing.
