i'm not an expert on this ped, but looking over the original manifests, it doesnt look like SS was a series in the collection, nor do they seem to go past the end of 1967...

By the location and color of the date stamp, it looks like this book sold twice back in late 2015 and it did not have a "Green River pedigree" notation then. It must have been re-graded because interestingly, the page quality was cream to off-white then, but now it has off-white to white. I agree with Sal, the Green River pedigree probably did not have any Silver Surfer's in it because of the time frame of the Green River pedigree that stops in late 1967, early 1968, right before the Silver Surfer solo series started. Here's an image of the book as sold in 2015, not very good quality, but it seems to match the one you posted currently on ComicLink.

After looking into that sale back in 2015, it looks like the seller was trying to sell it as a "Green River" even though it was not designated as such on the label. It looks like the book was just re-graded in Sept. of this year and the old label must have been turned in because nothing shows up in the "verify certification" using the old number from the sale in 2015. (The old cert. number was 0765779015.)

Sorry for the late reply. None of the Green River date stamps after December of 1966 contained the year. So for instance, "Dec 13 1966" was followed by simply "Jan 3" a month later. So the easy answer is no, this isn't a Green River. Nice book, though.

Love the Green River issues.  Here are a few from my collection if you'd like to compare the stamps for any future books...
