Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading at this time unless the owner is pursuing a 9.8 or 9.9 for a personal collection. Facsimile editions rarely appreciate enough to cover the cost of grading unless they are high-demand variants or rare incentives.
Notable Features
Features a modern 'homage' variant cover by Joshua Middleton based on the original 1976 Treasury Edition layout. Includes original advertisements and back-matter from the 1970s release.
Authentication Notes
Authentic modern release. This version is distinguishable by the $8.99 cover price, the modern DC logos, and the 'Ages 13+' rating on the UPC. The paper stock is modern glossy paper compared to the matte treasury stock of the original.
