Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Visible light spine stress marks with minor color breaking. Slight blunting on the bottom right corner. Minor surface wear on the black ink areas of the cover. Edges appear relatively sharp but show minor shelf wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20. Graded (CGC 7.5): $45 - $60. UK Price Variants typically command a niche premium but are less liquid than US 40-cent versions.
Recent Sales
Recent sales for standard US editions in Mid-High grade range from $15-$25. UK Price Variants for this specific issue have sold for approximately £10-£15 in similar condition.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS submission would exceed the total market value of the comic. It is a nice candidate for a 'Reader's Choice' or Mylar bag for personal collection preservation.
Notable Features
This is the UK Pence Price Variant (12p). Key feature is the guest appearance of Werewolf by Night (Jack Russell). It features a 12p cover price instead of the standard 40c US price, intended for the British market.
