LOT SOLD (STC)
CLOSING BID
a Copy of Battlefield Action #80, published by Charlton Comics in April 1983.
This specific issue features the story "Killer!" and is part of the "Bronze Age" of comics. The 60¢ price printed on the cover and the C.M.C. (Central News Agency / Comic Distribution) price sticker confirm this was a standard newsstand copy distributed in South Africa during the early 1980s.
Condition Assessment of The Copy
The copy appears to be in low-to-mid grade condition (roughly a 2.0 to 3.5 on a 10-point scale). Key factors affecting the value include:
-
Spine Wear: Visible "color breaking" (white lines) along the spine and some tearing near the staples.
-
Edge Wear: Noticeable fraying and small chips along the right-hand edge.
-
Surface Wear: Creasing and general "foxing" (aging spots) on the orange background.
-
Stickers: While the "C.M.C." sticker is a cool piece of South African history, collectors generally view stickers as a "defect" that slightly lowers the grade.
Estimated Value: R20 to R50
