Recent Sales
Raw copies of this specific mid-80s issue typically sell for bulk/filler prices ($2-$5). High-grade slabbed copies rarely appear but command a premium over raw for registry collectors.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading exceeds the current market value of the comic in this condition. It is a great reader/display copy but not a high-value investment piece.
Notable Features
Features the DC 50th Anniversary logo (1935-1985) in the bottom left corner. This is a Direct Edition copy (indicated by the logo in the UPC box).
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1980s DC copper-age publication. Proper trade dress, ink saturation for the period, and correct paper stock (mando paper) for the mid-80s transition period.
