Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine- (CGC 7.5)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress with color-breaking ticks along the left edge. The bottom left corner shows minor blunting. Some surface wear/scuffing visible in dark areas of the cover art. Slight edge wear on the top right margin. The colors remain vibrant without significant fading.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $6.00 | Graded (9.8): $30.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for mid-grade raw copies range from $2.00 to $5.00. This series is generally found in bargain bins and does not have high secondary market demand.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading ($25+) significantly exceeds the market value of the comic in this condition. Professional cleaning and pressing would not elevate this to a high enough grade to justify the expense.
Notable Features
Direct Edition (denoted by the logo/text in the UPC box area). Features distinctive artwork by Jim Baikie, known for his detailed European-influenced style. Not a key issue.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1980s DC production. Baxter-style paper or high-quality newsprint typical of DC's mid-80s mid-tier titles. No signs of restoration or counterfeiting.
