Condition & Value

Minor spine stress marks visible on the left edge. Color-breaking crease near the bottom right corner. Very slight blunting of the top right corner. General light surface wear but retains good gloss and color vibrancy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw (Ungraded): $5 - $15 | Graded (CGC 9.8): $75 - $110. Note: UK price variants sometimes carry a small premium to specific collectors but generally follow standard values.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for high-grade raw copies range from $8 to $20. Graded 9.8 copies have sold for approximately $100 in recent auctions.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection or if it would achieve a 9.8. The cost of grading (CGC) often exceeds the current market value of this specific mid-tier key issue in this condition.
Notable Features
Features the Blackhawks. Rare UK 30p price variant instead of the US 50 cent price tag. Includes a 'The New DC: There's No Stopping Us Now' logo in the bottom left corner.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1981 UK distributed edition. Paper stock displays the typical newsprint oxidation consistent with age. Ink density and registration align with DC production standards from the bronze age.
