Not recommended for professional grading. The estimated grade of 7.0 does not provide a high enough value increase to offset the costs of grading, shipping, and insurance. Better kept in a high-quality bag and board.
Notable Features
Bronze Age issue; Newsstand edition with UPC barcode; classic 'Co-Starring Green Arrow' masthead that continued from the famous Neal Adams era.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1979 DC newsstand copy. Ink density and paper oxidation (off-white pages) are consistent with the period; 40-cent price point is correct for May 1979 releases.
