So you landed on a gold mine of books in a barn?

What would possess any store to put a stamp on a comic book?

I was definitely thinking 7.0-7.5.  Did you have it cleaned and pressed?  Also, quick turnaround, did you pay for the expedited service?

I was thinking the same. Figured after C&P it would have gotten at least a 7 with shot at 7.5. And he must've done expedited. I sent in 5 books for grading a week after he created this thread. Just got the notification that they received them today. SMH. Will be several more months before I get them back.

Congrats. I just got back mine SS by Dixon and Nolan 9.6. Can't remember if I did C&P....but now I feel like I should have

3.0 as is.  3.5-4.0 with C&P

9.0. With C&P 9.2

7.5 - 8.0 with a few spine dings and if you say color fade. If fading is negligible then possibly 8.5

Thanks for the feedback, Troy!

Great book to have with GotG 3 coming soon. I bought a mid grade FF 66 recently. Been trying to get an affordable FF 67 and Thor 165. Not rich unfortunately lol.

Guess I’ll show my membership card at the door before coming in.  

Anyone know what kind of premium the MJ Insert brings on this book?

That 9.6 makes me quite jealous. Congrats.

8.5 - 9.0. Definite C&P

I would say 4.5 - 5.0 after a C&P possible 5.5

8.5. C&P 9.0

9.0

2.5-3.0

Very Low Grade. 2.0 Unsure if C&P would help too much. Looks like clear water damage among other stains.

4.0 potential of 4.5-5.0 with great C&P results. Would be an amazing book to have.

6.5 to a 7.0 as is and maybe a 7.5 with a good clean and press to get those little bends and dents/dimples out on the covers 

Agree with this

With a C&P could potentially be a 6.5-7.0. Does it have the MVS and all pages intact?

AAAaaaahaaahahaaa! 

So is midgrade 181 plateauing? I've seen a couple midgrades (5-6) go unsold on Feebay at what appeared to be FMV? 

 

An ungraded missing MVS just sold for $2,726. Probably a 4.5-5.0 grade. An 8.0 CGC graded is currently selling for $8000 with 4 days and 10 hours left.

Update: The 8.0 sold for $8,300

Or option 3 which is a little of both.....a huge wolverine fan so has it and has no plan on selling it, but also happy in knowledge that god forbid I ever need money desperately I have something I can generate cash reasonable quick. 

This is me. IH181 has been my grail book since I was a child. Had an opportunity at 11 years old to buy it for $70. Almost got the money from my parents to do so, but then backed out cause for an 11 year old at the time $70 was a lot of money. Plus I didn't get the significance of First Appearance as I had just started collecting Wolverine comics and this was an Incredible Hulk issue. I finally got around to buying a CGC 7.5 for $1,600 in 2016 knowing I'll never sell, but like you said, if I ever find myself needing money, love seeing that a 7.5 sells for around $7,500 plus now. But probably sell sometime in retirement age if at all in a couple decades.

If I have a CBCS Giant Size X-Men am I allowed to post it? Cover is faded, but the rest of the book looks clean..wonder if I had CGC regrade it if it may bump it up .5 or better with a C&P.
