Recent Sales
Similar mid-grade Harvey comics from the late 70s typically sell in bulk lots for $2-$5 each, or individually for around $10 depending on the specific key interest of the issue.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading fees ($25+) exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. The red sticker is a significant detractor that would result in a 'Qualified' grade or a lower numeric score.
Notable Features
Cover features Richie Rich using a push-button selector to control a mechanical arm dialing a rotary phone. Notable characters mentioned on cover: Gloria, Mayda, Reggie, Freckles, Aunt Noovo, The President, and Dad.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1975 Harvey Publication based on the 'PDC 52750-8' distributor code, the 25c price point, and the characteristic paper aging associated with the low-grade newsprint used by Harvey during this era.
