Estimated Market Value
Raw (ungraded): $20 - $35; Graded (CGC 6.0): $60 - $80
Recent Sales
Raw copies in mid-grade (5.0-7.0) typically sell for $20-$40 on eBay. Higher grade 9.0+ copies can exceed $150.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal preservation. The market value increase for a 6.0 grade barely covers the cost of CGC grading fees and shipping. A professional press and clean might bump the grade slightly but not enough for significant profit.
Notable Features
Bronze Age DC 100-Page Super Spectacular ($0.60 price point). Joe Kubert cover art. Contains multiple reprints and new material. Notable for its high page count and 'giant' format typical of the mid-70s.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1974 DC publication. Correct paper stock (newsprint interior, heavier cover stock). Proper 1970s DC trade dress, UPC area (blank/text field), and high-quality Joe Kubert line work visible.
