Here is my 9.2 from my Surfer collection.

Comicshrine bought my Hulk 180 SS and paid quickly via Paypal. A very easy transaction and I would do business with him again.

Thanks to Steve for getting these two books from my collection signed with Wolvie headsketches by Herb Trimpe at the Baltimore comic con - they just arrived today from CGC.

Does CGC have a number of exactly how many books Stan Lee has signed for the Signature Series? I would think that he has signed the most from what I see pop up for sale.

I don't have a lot of the CGC SS but I sure have a bunch in mind that I want! Here are the four I presently own (also have a Hulk 180 & 181 that are going out for Herb Trimpe to sign for the CGC SS).

Hello,

 

I have a question, if a comic were to have blue ink stained edges from the printing process - is that held against its grade?

 

That type of ink is not from the printing process, its related to an unsold copy that credit was given back. The inking was there to mark the comic, similar to when they used to manually cut the top third of the comic off. Same scenerio, different year of print.

>>I learn something new every day about comics - very fascinating!

That's pretty severe,enough that I could understand CGC treating it like a stain. To be honest I would stay away from it. Not worth the gamble. Even if it did get a decent grade many collectors would shy away.

>>Thanks for your advice. I will probably skip this one then as I have seen a couple of copies of Iron Man 55 crop up now and then and will look for a cleaner copy.

Thanks for the input everyone - here is the book in question that I am looking at bidding on.
