Not Goldberg — it’s by Bob White. Dan Parent helped with the ID.

At the time I thought it didn’t look like DeCarlo but I liked it and
trusted HA.
The most common misattribution I see is Goldberg as DeCarlo, though.
I’ve got a few Goldberg pieces that I bought which were labeled as decarlo.
Most off of eBay where I expect that kind of thing and didn’t pay heritage
prices for them.
My expectation for heritage is to correctly identify art, though. With the
fees they charge and their standards it should be possible.

Goldberg covers that came out in the 1970's. A Goldberg I sold years ago
(ie I knew it came out of Goldberg's garageas I bought it from the guy who
bought skids of art from Goldberg) I saw recently listed as a DeCarlo cover
but I forget where - whether it was on a sale site or on www.comcis.org

I’ve noticed this too. I got burned by them on an Archie annual cover that
was initially listed as by DeCarlo and then changed after the fact to say
‘attributed’. This was a few years ago.
I’ve since gotten a bit better at identifying art by DeCarlo rather than
trusting them and I 100% mistrust the attributed designation.
For me ‘Dan DeCarlo (attributed)’ is now a proxy for ‘unknown Archie
artist’.

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend in auctions of Archie art at Heritage.--
Several lots have listed "Dan DeCarlo (Attributed)” as the artist when the
art is clearly by another artist and shows no sign of Dan even touching it.
I’ve emailed Heritage about these errors but to no avail. I’m wondering if
they have someone in-house who does the attributions of art, or are they
just taking the word of the person who’s putting the art up for auction? It
seems like someone, whether Heritage or the seller, is trying to drive up
sale prices on art by lesser artists.
