Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading in current condition. The estimated 4.0-5.0 grade would not yield a significant return over the cost of grading fees. Best kept as a raw collectible.
Notable Features
Bronze Age DC title featuring Supergirl as the lead. Noted for the Zaranna and Animal Man backup appearances. 52-page giant format with a 25-cent price point.
Authentication Notes
The coloring, paper aging (tanning), and 25-cent '52 BIG pages' trade dress are consistent with DC's output from February 1972. Staple oxidation appears consistent with age.
