Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
The book appears to be sealed inside a wrinkled plastic bag or shows heavy wrinkling and creasing across the entire cover. There is noticeable spine stress, corner blunting, potential spine ticks, and surface wear consistent with a well-handled lower-grade copy.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $2 - $5; Graded (CGC 4.0): Not generally recommended for grading as the grading fees would exceed the book's value.
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales for common issues of this series in low to mid-grade generally range from $1 to $5.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC or CBCS certification far outweighs the market value for a low-grade common issue of this title.
Notable Features
Features the DC 50th Anniversary logo (1935-1985) in the bottom left corner, typical of DC books published during that anniversary window. Direct edition variant with box instead of UPC.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1980s DC printing with newsprint interior pages, correct cover stock, and appropriate color registration for the era. No apparent signs of counterfeiting.
