Comic Description
A classic humor issue featuring Jughead Jones, Betty, Veronica, and other classic Archie characters in lighthearted comedic gags and short stories.
Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress marks, minor corner rounding and blunting, slight cover creasing near the bottom left, and minor edge wear. Tanning/yellowing of the newsprint paper consistent with age.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value: $5 - $15. Graded value: Not economically viable for professional grading at this grade.
Recent Sales
Similar vintage Archie comedy titles in lower-to-mid grades typically trade in the $5 to $15 range depending on the specific demand for the issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS). The grading and slab fees would far exceed the market value of the book in a Very Good condition.
Notable Features
Features the 35-cent cover price and a UPC barcode in the lower left corner indicating a newsstand edition from the late 1970s.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard newsprint paper stock, typical ink dot patterns of the era, and standard Fawcett/Archie publication markers.
