Raw: $5.00 - $10.00 / Graded (9.8): $50.00 - $80.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies in mid-grade typically sell for $3.00 to $8.00 on secondary markets. High-grade slabbed copies are infrequent but stay under $100.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The price written on the cover and the general wear significantly lower the potential grade. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Features the Kitchen Sink Press logo; distinct yellow background cover art; Bronze Age reprint of Golden Age newspaper strips.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic Kitchen Sink Press publication from the early 1980s based on the logo, matte paper stock, and typical age-related tanning.
