Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress/ticks; corner blunting particularly on the bottom right; slight surface wear and possible tanning of cover gloss; UPC barcode area appears clean but has minor edge wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10; Graded (CGC 9.0+): $35 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for mid-grade copies of similar late-run Charlton war titles fluctuate between $5 and $12. Higher grade copies are infrequently listed.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the current market value of the comic in this mid-grade condition.
Notable Features
Includes a UPC barcode (common for 1979), Charlton 'C' logo on top left, and 40-cent price point. Not a major key issue but represents the final years of the Charlton war line.
Authentication Notes
Colors and paper stock appear consistent with late 1970s Charlton production quality (often lower-grade newsprint). Staple placement appears original.
