Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0) to Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine roll/curl along the left edge, slight corner blunting at the top right, minor surface wear, and a few small spine stress marks. Colors remain vibrant.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.0+): $40 - $70
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $3-$10 on platforms like eBay. High-grade graded copies (9.8) can occasionally fetch $100+, but sales are infrequent.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for sentimental reasons. The current market value of a mid-grade copy does not offset the grading fees. A 'Press and Clean' would improve the spine roll though.
Notable Features
Features Amazing-Man (Will Everett), an early African-American superhero in DC continuity. Includes a 'Bonus! A Golden-Age Gallery' by artist Marshall Rogers as noted on the cover burst.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1980s DC Direct Edition. The logos, price box (75c), and 'The New DC' marketing corner are consistent with 1984 production standards.
