Recent Sales
Comparable Scholastic paperback collections of this era typically sell for less than $10 unless in pristine condition or featuring high-demand licenses (e.g. Peanuts).
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $25-$40) significantly exceeds the market value of the book, especially in this low-grade condition.
Notable Features
Features the T 789 Scholastic catalog number. This is a mass-market paperback format rather than a standard pamphlet-style comic book.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic original Scholastic vintage paperback. Features standard low-grade newsprint-style interior pages and a matte cardstock cover typical of the 1960s/70s scholastic printings.
