Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and localized wear. Color-breaking creases along the spine and right edge. Visible corner blunting and minor rounding. General surface wear and light staining/soiling on the white title areas. Two circular price/label stickers on the bottom right (non-factory). Surface scuffing visible.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $30. Graded (CGC 4.0): $45 - $60.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw mid-grade copies range from $12 to $35 depending on specific cover integrity. Higher grade slabs (9.0+) command significantly more.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading in this condition. The cost of CGC/CBCS fees plus shipping would likely exceed the market value of a 4.0 grade. Best kept in a fresh bag and board for a personal collection.
Notable Features
Iconic Joe Kubert cover depicting the horrors of war. Silver Age DC War title with the 'Checkered' top border. Includes price stickers on cover which detract from value.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1966 direct-to-retail copy. Paper shows appropriate age tanning. Distinguishable by the 12-cent price point and the National Periodical Publications (DC) logo.
