Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine roll/stress, blunted and rounded corners (especially top right/left), significant yellowing of the cover consistent with age, minor surface soiling, and light edge wear. Significant creasing visible on the bottom right quadrant. Staple oxidation possible.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.0+): $35 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-grade Harvey giant-size reprints average $8 to $12. High-grade copies are rare but carry a small premium for Casper completionists.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would exceed the market value of the book in this condition. Best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features
52-page Giant edition; 'Scout's Honor!' tagline highlighting the reprint of two classic Casper scout issues; 35 cent price point variant.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1970s Harvey publication. Paper stock is standard newsprint which shows predictable age-toning. No commercial reprints or counterfeits of this specific issue are known to exist.
