Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Good (CGC 2.0)
Condition Details
Extensive spine stress and split, heavy color breaking creases across the cover, blunted and rounded corners, significant edgewear including small tears, visible surface soiling and staining (foxing), and loss of cover gloss. Possible detached cover or staple pull based on spine wear.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15 - $25; Graded: $40 - $60 (low grade)
Recent Sales
Raw copies in similar GD grade have recently sold between $15 and $22. High-grade (NM 9.4+) copies can exceed $400, but this specimen is in the low-end range.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading would likely exceed the final market value of a 2.0 grade. Pressing may improve flatness but will not fix the color breaks or spine damage.
Notable Features
Includes a Silver Age crossover of Earth-1 and Earth-2 characters. Iconic checklist of heroes on the cover including Black Canary, Doctor Fate, and Green Lantern. Features the 12-cent cover price and the DC 'Checkered' top header used in the mid-60s.
Authentication Notes
The paper aging, halftone dot pattern in the colors, and specific wear patterns are consistent with authentic Silver Age newsprint. No signs of restoration visible.
