*Bronze age fan* Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It's occurred to me that I haven't posted my replacement copy of Hulk #1. Be kind, now, people. I downgraded intentionally, and was able to pull a nice hunk of cash out of my old CGC 2.5. It paid for this and the rest went to family projects. Looks good to me bro. A Hulk 1 is a Hulk 1 and deserves respect!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat54 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 found this in the wild haven't bought it yet wondering what grade it would be before and after a press?I will leave it up to you Hulk experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It's actually a pretty nice book. You really should post this in the PGM thread but I'm thinking 4.0, either way. There's enough heavy duty creases that flattening the book won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldOrder Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 found this in the wild haven't bought it yet wondering what grade it would be before and after a press?I will leave it up to you Hulk experts. 3.0/3.5 is my guess without seeing the book in hand.

Dark Knight Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Book looks 3.5 whether pressed or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeminemego Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Book looks 3.5 whether pressed or not I'm right there at 3.5 myself. Spine is too strong for a 3.0, but with that many color breaking creases, I cant see a 4.0. Not sure that pressing would have any effect. Nice book! Presents really well.

Improvable? i dont see it improving much, but some people LOVE those old labels They do indeed. But that seems like a high price for a 5.5 (way above the previous GPA high of $15K) unless the buyer believes the book would benefit from a press and resub.

Absolutely, too strong IMO, but sometimes that old label gives false CPR belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 That book will likely appear in a higher grade holder. And therein lies the problem with using GPA. Someone is going to see this sale and think the book is now worth $20K and ask $20K for their unimprovable, chipped 5.5. Same thing happened with other books. You get one or two outlier sales and and everyone jumps on it like it's the new norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
