Recent Sales
Issues of this fanzine title generally sell in lots for $5-$10 per issue or individually for roughly $15 in average circulated condition.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services far exceeds the market value of the issue, and the condition is significantly aged with fragile newsprint.
Notable Features
Black and white newsprint format; features reprints of newspaper adventures and strips that were difficult to find in collected formats during the 1970s.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1970s newsprint fanzine. Characteristic age-related yellowing and 'tabloid' style stapled binding are consistent with Street Enterprises' production methods.
