Is My Hulk 181 8.5 Because It is Off-Center?

Hey Everyone, just got my very first hulk 181 and I was curious, for my own learning purposes, if the centering has anything to do with the grade of the book...

 

Also, how badly centered is my book, and do you think it will be harder to sell because of it? Should I look into a better-centered 8.5 or keep this one and enjoy it?

 

Thanks all

I know I am probably coming off as a nutcase, but would this comic (same grade, also with white pages) be more desirable as a collector because it doesnt have the white stripe on the spine and is pretty on-center? Only bad thing I can see with this one is on the top left corner there are a few lines in it...The Hulk 181 I got is my first cgc-graded book, so I want to make sure I made the right decision...

My guess is it's an 8.5 due to the defects in the upper right corner, not the centering.

 

cool, thanks for the response..like I said I am very new to this (the hulk 181 was a gift from my fiance)

 

Does the off-centering matter much in terms of how valuable the book is, or is an 8.5 an 8.5, etc

To some, it would matter. It's a matter of preference. It's a nice book reguardless of the centering.
