Comic Description
Anthology of Looney Tunes humor stories featuring Porky Pig and Petunia Pig. This issue typically includes short slapstick backup stories featuring other Warner Bros. characters.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Extensive spine stress and splitting, noticeable horizontal color-breaking creases, major piece of tape residue on the logo, heavy corner blunting, soiling on the yellow background, and significant wear along the left edge/spine resulting in small paper loss.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5.00 - $10.00; Graded: High-grade copies (9.0+) can reach $100+, but in this condition, grading costs would exceed market value.
Recent Sales
Copies in similar low grade (VG or lower) generally sell for under $10.00 as 'reader' copies. Sharp NM- copies have historically sold for $50-$75.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (shipping and fees) significantly exceeds the low market value of a 2.0 copy.
Notable Features
Features Porky Pig in a cowboy outfit on the cover. Gold Key price variant (12 cents). Notable for the vintage Gold Key 'Key' logo in the top left corner.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Silver Age comic book. Shows natural aging of paper stock (tanning visible on edges), vintage period-correct printing dots (Ben-Day dots), and standard staple placement for Gold Key 1960s production.
