Double covers get graded based on the best looking cover. That's not correct. Isn't the number on the slab for the inner cover? The overall grade is normally the better of the two covers. Sometimes the grade in the top left is not the grade of either cover. All of the covers, all of the pages and all of the stapes are graded. In other words, they assign a grade to the book, not just the covers. I can't believe I have to drag this book out again. Outer cover 9.0/Inner Cover 9.6 Thanks Christian! I guess I never knew this. No problem Mike. It makes sense. What if you had a book with two perfect covers but the interior pages all had a one inch rip in them? That's not a 9.8 book. In the case of my Hulk #131, according to CGC no book with Light tan/Off White pages can be better than 8.5.

Wow, what an awesome cover and great grade. I love it! Congrats! Welcome to the Boards! I can appreciate a new user who can choose one book to comment on, instead of choosing all 20.

I hear you, especially on the page quality. I think I've seen 9.6's with cream-to-off-white pages, which is ridiculous. You wont like this then: CGC called that label a mistake and recalled it.

I see that name and immediately think of basketball.... I assume that is not your sport, so were you soccer or hockey goalie? I was thinking lacrosse.

There was an old thread somewhere (I can't find it) where someone (possibly Roy?) talked to a grader about bad miswraps and miscuts in 9.6 or 9.8 holders. I believe the gist of it was that if it's a production issue, and no better copies exist, then CGC's position is it isn't penalized until 9.9 and above. Link?

No, the story would be about someone he almost knew doing it. Bingo.

I bought this raw and inexpensively at the local Buffalo Con.

Two months ago I went through about 20 unorganized long boxes that I call my collection. Was looking for books that might have heated up since the last time I went through the boxes. Found two copies of Hulk 271 and submitted them. This crappy DC book was not something that was hiding in a long box.

My screen name emulates from my desire to rid Earth of werewolves. If there were no Moon, there would be no werewolves.

2,200 views and two bids.

Well, that's what sub creases are, as comic subscriptions used to be mailed folded completely in half. One of our fellow boardies recently posted his photo of some comics he has still in their original subscription envelopes. I want those!

1,000 views and still only one bid.

Almost 500 views on the auction and only one bid. Maybe potential buyers who bid on the last two pulled auctions are learning to stay away.

I also reported it, for a third time.

Yup. Think I am gonna find all of the info I can about him and publish it right here.

The label is correct and makes perfect sense.

Yes, and the overall grade is normally the better of the 2 covers (usually the inside cover). But I believe it's been brought up in here before that that's not always the case (meaning that the overall grade is not always the better of the two). Not exactly sure why that is though unless the higher grade is the outside cover. Yes, the overall grade is normally the better of the two covers.

You're the third one to mention it.

Reported again.

What's the old saying about a fool and his money? The two should have never gotten together in the first place.
