Incredible Hulk #181 - is it *that* red-hot?
Bomber-Bob replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Yes, there were multiple copies but I don't think CGC gives the pedigree notation on MH2 amymore. -
Incredible Hulk #181 - is it *that* red-hot?
Bomber-Bob replied to Getoutandstayout's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
First off, that is an exceptional looking copy. If you read the blurb on Clink about this book, it was hand picked by John Verzyl directly from Chuck, saying it was the best copy he had ever seen. While many others do not concur, I do give some creedence to the CVA sticker, it certainly doesn't hurt. There may be a little play here for a CGC review and possible 9.9 on this book. While I sense the Hulk 181 marketplace has peaked for now, I think this specific book easily hits 40K. -
Is it worth it???
Bomber-Bob replied to rein2222's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I agree, go for it ! -
Unfortunately, yours is much, much worse. I count at least nine of these pulls that look like they are turning into tears from all the opening of the comic. Hint, you should not have flipped through these page by page to take pics. The far right tear looks exaggerated and bent back. IMO, because of the severity, it will not be ignored by CGC. CGC is lenient on bindery flaws but only if they are 'mild'. The more severe, the deductions start happening.

Strange Tales Collecting Thread !

Heritage does the same thing, charges sales tax on the bottom line inclusive of shipping, Buyer's Premium, etc. I argued with them to no avail .They said their accounting dept advised them on this. I think CLink is doing it also. I sense the marketplace, in general, has peaked and prices are softening. This sales tax stuff isn't helping. I know I have backed off on buying in auction. I trust I am not the only one.

Is this limited to 9.6? [Updated]
Bomber-Bob replied to Zordar's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
That's a gorgeous book. I suspect it does have a shot at 9.8. I suggest you send it to CGC, in the slab, and ask for a review. -
Let us not forget what he has done for this community... 'CGC will now put Spider-Punk 1st appearance on label, thanks to me notifying them about it'.

Finally, an admission of the real motivation for this thread. Honestly, I don't think anybody cares about your self serving crusade. What does it take for you to realize you lost? Go home, start a new thread, watch some Beavis and Butthead reruns to expand your vocabulary. But don't forget to call CGC first thing tomorrow and ask if they think you are a raving lunatic.

Yeah, I had to laugh at my new nickname. He finally showed a hint of creativity with that one.

I just talked to CGC and they said you are a raving lunatic. If you don't believe me, call CGC, and ask them. This is what they say about you, and I never said I agree with it, but that is what CGC has 'said' to me.

Please Grade this Avengers 4
Bomber-Bob replied to Bird's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Good eye, I did not see the subscription crease . -
Please Grade this Avengers 4
Bomber-Bob replied to Bird's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Obvious water damage on the bottom, permeating through the whole book. Looks like somebody tried to remove the grease pen marking. No pieces mssing. I'm at the 4.0 range, maybe a 4.5 . -
What exactly are you arguing for ? What do you want from CGC? CGC hasn't 'said' anything. Apparently they are not acknowledging a 1st app in comics for Stan. Maybe they are trying to respect him. If not for the possibility of more money for your comic , why are you on this crusade ? Nodody, and I mean nobody is seeing it your way (whatever way that is). Please leave .

Please Grade this Avengers 1, copy B
Bomber-Bob replied to Bird's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I would totally stay away from buying this book. It has been ruined. -

Bomber-Bob replied to Bird's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Bird, this is a book that was obviously restored with CT, then had amateur 'unrestore' with the CT scraped off while leaving the ink bleed inside. Because of the ink bleed, it is still restored. This book looks terrible. I hope your friend didn't do the amateyr work. -
The OP has to be an old timer with a new account having some fun with this question. No way his question is serious.
-
Okay, you answered your own question. Apparently, you are arguing for the recognition of your book as the 1st app on the label when you obviously believe otherwise. Please go away.

'Get a brain', bootlicker was better than that. You have humbled me so much, I just feel terrible. No, we should not be concerned about this. In fact, you are the only one concerned with this. I wonder why. Maybe because you want it on the label of your book so you can get more money .

Bootlicker ? That's the best you got ? You are obvious not getting any sympathy for your crusade here. Please leave. Also, in your next reply, please think of something better than 'bootlicker'.

I'm sorry but it is obvious why you are so concerned with all this. Maybe you should start a GoFundMe Page.

Spot on with the 'side' comments. The OP is in a rant because he wants more valuation for his comic. The 'concern' about Stan Lee being disrespected is laughable.
