Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Visible color-breaking spine stress, blunted corners (especially bottom right), moderate surface wear, and a significant vertical crease or indentation near the right edge through the Solomon Grundy image. Possible tanning and minor staining along the top white border.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.8): $150 - $200 (Note: UK variants can carry a slight premium for specialized collectors but generally have lower demand in the US).
Recent Sales
Raw copies of Wonder Woman #273 typically sell for low amounts ($5-$12) on eBay. Recent UK price variant sales are infrequent but generally align with standard direct/newsstand prices for mid-grade copies.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The condition appears to be in the mid-range (approx. 5.0), and the cost of grading/shipping would exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Distinguished by the '15p' UK Price Variant in the upper right. Features the Earth-Two Huntress (Helena Wayne) and Solomon Grundy. Includes the 'More New Pages' branding indicating the expanded page count of that era.
Authentication Notes
Standard DC 15p UK Price Variant. These were printed on the same presses as US editions for distribution in the United Kingdom. Staple placement and ink density appear consistent with 1980 DC production.
