Wait.  

 

And whereas hulk 181 has always spanked cerebus 1 in every grade below 9.0, guess what has happened to the 9.0 181's since this thread was started?   They now sell for a comparable amount of what cerebus 1 sells for in a 9.0, and more  Meanwhile, pitifully, a 9.0 cerebus 1 SS file copy you name it, just went for $3600 in April 2017- a mere $1300 more than the last copy that sold for nearly three years ago. (and keep in mind that there are only five copies of that in that grade in SS.)

So is cerebus 1 "really" worth more than a hulk 181, even in a 9.2?

No.  Not in the real world anyway.   

-J.

and to note... I bought that copy of the 9.0 file copy for 2k... I got a nice return on it... initially got interested bc I never saw a copy above 7.0 surface for 3 years... also my 9.4 tmnt1 i sold for 6k bought for 5k looking back should of held onto that one for a few more months... its me -snikt1988!

also to note I have a 9.8 IH181 

maybe it was 2300 anyhow ill take my return happily

I sold my 9.0 cerebus file copy for 3600 on eBay...

Couldn't find any info...

White spine areas have traditionally benefitted in CGC grading by the way they make tiny defects so hard to see.

I bet your book looks great when looking at it as a whole.  Congrats on the addition to the collection.

Yes... I checked the back and its tight all other areas are clean... just wish the front looked like the back... thanks for the input!

Not with that kind of bread involved you're not...

What do you think about the defects?!?

I figured due to the lack of response; I was taking it a little too serious...

Anyway you could upload pictures? Just curious to see what the inner well looks like. 

When I have it in hand... it's in another place at the moment... 

I have a IH181 9.8 that I've noticed the inner well is warped... it's been about 2 years now... at first I didn't care but now I'm concerned about possible damage etc... this has been discussed in previous threads if you guys can update me... how  am I going to ship this book... can I be sure she will be taken care of... will they regrade her... I called and I was told only heat damage would cause a regrade... but from what I've read the inner wells have been a problem in the past also...
