IMO...there is a trickle down effect that brings lower grades up also...”a rising tide lifts all boats”, kind of thing...

Great wrap on that one...how long ago did you get rid off it?

A Hulk 180 graded at 7.0 just sold for $2,300 on ebay in auction. That is just crazy. For that money you could have picked up a 9.4 a few months ago.

I guess both 180 & 181 are red hot now.

In February of ‘19 I bought a 9.4 copy of 180 from Roy for $850 and thought I was over paying at the time, but wanted his very first appearance...I already had a 9.2 181...as usual, from Roy, it is an exceptional copy but would have never guessed it would skyrocket like this...I’ve downsized to just 5 comics from 8 long boxes in the last few months...these are two of my keepers but with these prices I may be tempted to sell...

You came to the right place...your wisdom will be a welcome addition to this board...

You are missing a lot of them...I guess “major” and “iconic” are subjective though...

Go big Blue...no contest in my opinion...not a fan of purple with the possible exception of a few GA books...of course, again, this is just my opinion...I had a purple label GL 76 8.5 W in my collection for years and it triggered what little OCD I do have...

Beast

Nice book...I read it as Stan White...

Not much of a magazine fan but would like to know the most valuable, all things being equal?...Is it Vampirella 1?

It seems that Marvel chipping affects the value of a comic more than it does the grade...typically CGC is very lenient on production defects...stains can get hammered depending on size and appearance...

I distinctly remember this because I always kick myself for not buying it.  But in 1991 there was a hulk 181 on the shelf and my comic shop for $50.  It was in good shape, probably in the 9.4 range or higher.   But I could not afford it at 16.  So yeah, they have been expensive for awhile.

I bought mine in 1985 at Lone Star comics in Arlington,Tx...paid $32 for it and had to think about it...a lot of money for a 16 year old...

Thanks again Dale
