Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good/Very Good (3.0)
Condition Details
Highly visible permanent marker '1978' at the top of the cover; significant corner blunting; spine wear with visible stress lines; minor chipping along the bottom edge; poly-bagged which obscures some surface gloss details; probable page tanning based on age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $12.00 USD. Graded: $25.00 - $40.00 USD (Value is low due to being a non-English reprint with heavy ink marking).
Recent Sales
Comparable Héritage western reprints generally sell for $3 to $10 in mixed lots. The market for foreign language reprints is significantly smaller than the original Marvel US runs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The ink marking (writing on cover) and the nature of the issue as a foreign reprint mean the cost of grading would likely exceed the actual market value of the book.
Notable Features
French language Canadian edition; Format Double (Two-in-one issue); 'En Français' banner; Editions Héritage logo (EH in blue circle); features a price point of 60 cents.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Editions Héritage publication produced for the Quebec/French-Canadian market. Paper stock is characteristic of mid-70s non-glossy newsprint.
