It has been almost a week since the box shows signed for but my comics aren't showing under My Submissions.

It took about 10 days for my books to show up on my submission page after they were received within the last 3 weeks

I'll break it down as best I can:

I believe the "Incredible Hulk" refers to the title of the comic you submitted.  He is a a scientist exposed to gamma rays who then becomes exceedingly big and strong when angry (originally just at night), believed by the world to be a monster, but generally is a hero.  The comic originated as just "Hulk" in the 1960's, first written by a man Stan Lee, who also wrote some other comics.  THere was previously a Hulk TV show, and there have been 2 Hulk movies in the past 20 years, and he has been featured prominently in the recent Marvel movies. 

 

I believe the "180" refers to the actual issue number within the series.  The comics are typically issued sequentially, so Issue 180 fell between Issue 179 and Issue 181.  Actually the Incredible Hulk series changed title names a few times, going from "Hulk", to "Tales to Astonish", then "Incredible Hulk".

 

I believe the "10/74" refers to what I like to call the "Month" and the "Year" that the comic was originally issued.  In this case the "74" likely refers to  year 1974, which is generally believed to be the number of years since a Middle-Eastern man named Jesus died.  Years are generally considered to be the amount of time the planet earth (which we live on, allegedly) takes to go around the earth.  There are twelve months a year, and the "10" refers to a month called "October", the 10th of 12th months in a given year.

 

 

Thanks for your complete and thoughtful explanation. You must be a person everyone would agree is a great guy.

Who is it signed by, and why are there two dates?

Chris Claremont and I think the dates are related to his time on the xmen

Thank you all for the information

Do you want a Green label or a Blue? It will affect the Blue but not the Green.

Depends on the size and location of the signature, and grade of the book
 

 

 

As an example 

Hey all

How does an autograph effect my comic book grade ? Will it bring the grade down ?

thanks

Hi there! The best thing to do is to check sites that have a similar copy of what you have and see what the RAW Fair Market Value is and go from there. It's also important to note that after we receive the book -- if we discover that this book is valued higher than what you originally put, we will increase it to a different tier. We do this so each collectible gets insured for the correct amount. Hope this helps!

Thanks that does help. How do I pay for the different valuation ? Does someone reach out to me to pay the difference ?

How do I know which service to use for my comic. As an example I have silver surfer 1 but not having any idea what it’s condition would be what happens if I think it’s under 1000 and pay at that level but it turns out to be worth more ?

newer then new
