Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (shipping, insurance, and grading fees) significantly exceeds the final market value of a low-grade 1970s Harvey comic book.
Notable Features
Features cover bubbles and underwater theme. Includes character portraits on left sidebar: Richie Rich, Cadbury, Mr. Rich, Gloria, and Reginald. Price: 25 cents.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1974 newsstand-distributed copy. Paper stock shows age-appropriate tanning. The 'PDC' code and Comic Code Authority seal are properly positioned for this era of Harvey publications.
