Estimated Market Value
Raw: $10 - $20 | Graded (CGC 4.0): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar low-to-mid grade conditions typically sell for $8-$15. Higher grade copies (VF or better) fetch significant premiums due to the all-ages nature of the book resulting in few surviving clean copies.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. In this estimated condition (4.0-5.0), the cost of grading, shipping, and fees would likely exceed the actual market value of the book. It is best kept as a raw reader copy or for a low-grade run filler.
Notable Features
Features the Incredible Hulk; Newsstand edition with barcode; 35 cent cover price; Approved by the Comics Code Authority; No advertisements (36 pages of content).
Authentication Notes
The high degree of visible age-appropriate wear, paper tanning, and standard newsstand barcode layout are consistent with an authentic 1978 Marvel publication.
