Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Visible moderate spine stress and wear along the glued binding. Corner blunting on the bottom right. Some surface scuffing and minor soiling consistent with age and reader use. Typical digest-style shelf wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00 | Graded: No significant market for graded common digests of this era.
Recent Sales
Comprable Archie digests from the early 90s typically sell in bulk lots for $1-$3 per issue or individually for roughly $5-$10 depending on the specific collector's needs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (approx. $25-$40) far exceeds the market value of the book. It is a common 'reader' copy.
Notable Features
Digest format (approx. 4.75 x 6.5 inches). Features a 128-page count which was a standard 'Annual' thickness for the Archie Digest Library at the time.
Authentication Notes
The item appears to be an authentic 1990s Archie publication. The UPC barcode, ink saturation, and typical yellowing of the interior newsprint pages visible at the edges are consistent with mass-market distribution of the era.
