Sweet looking 6.5

Nice.

I will have to dig it out, but I have a copy of Hulk 197 PV.

Thanks. It is another clue, but doesn't shed a lot of light. Talking to someone who was "there" seems to be the best way to figure this one out.

Incredible Hulk 209's letter page may have more information. I don't have a raw copy handy.

Short answer is yes. Things that cannot be fixed: popped staples, tears, burning of paper, shrinkage, color loss, tears, etc.

Maybe, but Starlin did have an individual issue published. The only two I can think of that might be able to shed some light on this is Sal Buscema or Joe Staton, as they were involved in the Hulk run back then.

I’ll take the CM 26 and 33.

Posted this in the bronze age forum but figured might get some more looks here.

Which book is it?

Did you take these books on the plane with you or were they in checked luggage?

There is more than dust shadows going on here.

Was going through some beater comics this evening (something I rarely get to do anymore) and read this in the letters page. I know Wrightson did the cover for Hulk 197 (maybe he was supposed to do the whole issue??) but that is the only work I am aware of that he did in the Hulk run around 1977. Starlin did issue #222. Which issue was Bernie supposed to be the guest artist on? Anyone have any additional information about this? If the 5 pages still exist it would be the only Wrightson interior artwork for the Hulk.

Check this beauty out. Wrinkling over canvassing.

At least it’s an attempt at an apology.

As Bob said pictures will help. There are instances where the cover shrinks because it absorbed large quantities of water, add to this wrinkling and sometimes you will be left with very light creases (after a press) due to the multiple issues with the book. If it is just light rippling, a press should take out all the ripples.

And my Hulk 35 centers.

While your statement is correct 99% of the time, the QC involved with encapsulating the book can have a dramatic impact on the value of the book if the case itself is causing damage.

Now everyone will be marking their boxes.

That’s what I do. I save thousands on shipping insurance every year with CI. It really is a win win considering the underwriters for books in transit AND that your collection is insured.

Anyone else experiencing this "phenomena". I submitted books (all the same tier) on the same date (1/7/2019) with another group arriving to CGC three business days later on 1/10(still under the same tier of service). All but the very first group of books is not only graded, but shipped safe while the earlier submission sits at verified. Drives me batty.
