Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks (ticks), slight corner blunting on the bottom right, minor edge wear along the right side of the front cover, and some light surface scuffing/shelf wear visible on the orange background.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | Graded (9.0+): $45 - $70
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $5 to $12 depending on newsstand vs. direct. High-grade graded copies remain relatively flat in value due to high supply and low key status.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading would exceed the market value of the book. It is a great reader/filler copy for a collection.
Notable Features
Features a Newsstand UPC barcode. Notable for the Gil Kane cover art. Includes a 'Superman III Movie Sweepstakes' promotional blurb on the cover.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1980s DC newsprint; the presence of the UPC barcode is consistent with newsstand distribution of the era. The color registration on the orange background appears authentic to the period's printing standards.
