Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine/Very Fine (CGC 7.0)
Condition Details
Visible foxing and tanning along the top edge of the front cover; minor corner blunting on the top left; slight spine stress and minor waviness, potentially from storage in the plastic sleeve; light surface soiling consistent with aged newsprint stock.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $30.00 - $60.00 | Graded (CGC 9.8): $250.00 - $350.00 | Estimated as-is (Graded 7.0): $75.00 - $100.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies in mid-to-high grade typically sell between $40 and $70 on eBay. High-grade CGC 9.8 copies have reached over $300 in recent years due to the niche collectible nature of the Cheerleader appearance.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for professional grading unless it is a high-confidence 9.6 or 9.8. The current Foxing/staining along the top edge likely caps the grade at a 7.0-7.5, making the cost of grading higher than the value added.
Notable Features
Features the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders; published exclusively for Sanger-Harris department stores (Texas-based); contains the 'Complimentary Copy' and 'a 60c value' banners; notable for being a regional promotional item.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1983 regional giveaway. Printing characteristics (newsprint paper, specific Sanger-Harris branding) match known distributed copies. No signs of reproduction; age-appropriate tanning on edges is present.
