Kevin.J Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 A nice Hulk #181 for a local live auction tomorrow, just went to the preview, checked it and the stamp was cut out Apologies for quoting myself, this book was around 8.5/9.0 it went for £120 ( $200) No stamp is a killer.

joe_collector Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 So people are blinded by the the fact that the comic is incomplete due to everyone wanting to own the first appearance of Wolverine? More like: Hulk 181 has a *much* wider audience, including those who don't have a clue WTF a "Qualified" grade is, let alone a MVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's more like WTF is CGC putting a 9.0 on a slab of an incomplete comic. It's not a 9.0 it's a poor. Looks like this would make a great flip for people who can find raw copies with the coupon cut out from dealers that are nice copies otherwise and have them graded.

Well, the CGC 8.5 (Q) was properly labeled, and was bought by a fellow boardie, and ultimately ended up selling for more And most importantly, it was a tomato boxer . . .

divad Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Does anyone know what this does to the "value" of the book. I sent in my Hulk 181 for grading and it came back a "green label" 9.0 just wonder if it retains it's value the way a "normal" book would. It absolutely kills the value, as it's an incomplete comic that CGC markets using the Green label. Actually, IH181 is the lone exception to the rule, particularly in 8.0 and above. I sold one of my OO copies (MVS missing) CGC graded 8.5 W for $550 about 12 years ago . . . Of course my other OO copy I sold raw for $2200. It was later graded by CGC at 9.6 W. So people are blinded by the the fact that the comic is incomplete due to everyone wanting to own the first appearance of Wolverine? All snarkiness aside, in a word? Yes. Everyone wants to own one. Personally? I'd rather have an 8.0 (Q) than some ratty-azz 3.5 blue label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_collector Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Series 2, it sure was Fun to complete at the time Bah, I laughed at their stupid attempts to get me to cut up my comics. MVS Series 2 was one of the major let-downs ever, as I was hoping they're cover off the tons of characters (like Magneto, Firelord, Chameleon, Valkyrie, Blob, Scorpion, etc.) they missed in the first series, and new characters introduced in the interim (like Wolverine and the New X-Men). But instead we get puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incoflip Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 thanks for all the opinions....It was a book I've wanted for a while and I found a nice copy (all be it, incomplete) fairly cheap. Had it slabbed for display purposes and was just wondering everyone's opinions on a "green" labelled books. This is the only one I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telerites Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well I can finally join this club. I had wanted a complete book for a while. Just the MVS book - not every comic. It has all the stamps neatly clipped and applied. Pic of last stamp page Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one back when they were issued but I was so anal even then about cutting up a comic that I gave it to a friend of mine. I never clipped one stamp.
