Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)

Visible heavy spine roll and multiple color-breaking spine stress lines; significant corner blunting at bottom-right with potential paper loss; surface scuffing and minor soiling on the white lab coat area; visible edge wear along the right side.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10.00 – $25.00 / Graded (CGC 4.0): $40.00 – $60.00
Recent Sales
Issues of Treasure Chest from the late 60s typically sell for $5-$15 in lower grades; high-grade copies (9.0+) of specific issues featuring historical figures can reach $50-$100.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would likely exceed the final market value of the book given the 4.0 condition. Better suited for a raw reader or educator collection.
Notable Features
Includes the 'Dr. Pat Smith in Vietnam' feature starting on page 29; carries the Comics Code Authority seal; lacks a traditional barcode (UPC) as it was typically sold via subscription and through Catholic schools.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with period-accurate paper stock and printing dots. The blue logo and yellow caption box show correct ink saturation for this era.
