Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Fine (CGC 6.0)
Condition Details
Visible spine stress and minor ticks, rounding of the bottom left corner, and slight color breakdown along the spine. Bagging obscures finer details but surface gloss appears moderate.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $10; Graded (9.0+): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Low-grade copies typically sell for $2-5 in bulk lots. Higher grade specimens occasionally reach $15-20 on enthusiast sites.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS grading ($20-$35+) far exceeds the current market value of this specific bronze-age Western title.
Notable Features
Includes a UPC barcode (Newsstand). Features a 40-cent price point common for the era. Also pictured in the background is Batman #322 (Marvel/DC crossover era).
Authentication Notes
The paper stock appears consistent with late-period Charlton newsprint (low-grade pulp). Colors and staple alignment appear authentic to production standards of the time.
