Recent Sales
Raw copies of mid-70s Harvey reprints in mid-grade typically sell for under $10. High-grade (9.6+) examples are rare and can fetch higher premiums at auction.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS services (shipping, fee, handling) exceeds the market value of the book in this condition. Best kept in a Mylar bag with a board.
Notable Features
52-page giant format; reprints classic Casper stories; features Casper in Cub Scout attire which is a specific niche for scout memorabilia collectors.
Authentication Notes
Authentic period correct printing. Correct $0.35 price point and Harvey logo styling for the mid-1970s. Distinguishable by the off-white to yellowed paper stock typical of Harvey pulp from this era.
