Condition Details

Slight color fade on the cover and vertical creasing on the top edge. The bottom left corner shows minor wear. Probable tanning of interior newsprint pages consistent with age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.6+): $50 - $80
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in Mid-Grade condition have sold for $6-$12. High-grade (CGC 9.8) copies occasionally reach $100+ but are infrequent for this specific issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless sentimental. The cost of grading (approx. $30-$50) would likely exceed the market value of a mid-grade raw copy of this Copper Age issue.
Notable Features
Iconic Joe Kubert cover art. Newsstand edition with barcode in the bottom left corner. Late Copper Age war comic.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears to be an authentic 1986 newsstand edition. The registration of colors in the SGT ROCK logo and the presence of the Newsstand UPC barcode are consistent with DC's mid-80s production standards.
