Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)

Moderate spine stress and ticks; color-breaking creases on the left and right edges; visible corner blunting and rounding on all four corners; surface wear and minor scuffing on the red background; potential foxing or tanning consistent with 1960s newsprint.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20 - $35; Graded: $60 - $90 (depending on interior page quality)
Recent Sales
Recent sales for mid-grade raw copies (VG to FINE) range from $15 to $45. High-grade (NM 9.4+) examples can reach over $200, but lower grades are common for this title.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal sentimental value. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$50) would likely exceed the market value increase of a 4.0 grade. Pressing might improve the crease appearance but won't repair the fiber breaks.
Notable Features
Features the 'Haunted Tank' which is the primary key feature of the G.I. Combat run during the Silver Age. 12-cent cover price. Classic Joe Kubert war art.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with period-appropriate color saturation and paper aging. Staples show slight oxidation consistent with age. No immediate signs of being a modern reprint.
