Guess the grade! Hulk #2

[DavidTheDavid]

Okay, so this scan is from the auction, and HA doesn't provide a rear cover scan. Book is on its way back from CGC.

 

So yes, incomplete info, but give it a stab based on the front. I'll add more info as we go, including Heritage's grade and grader notes.

 

Linked image is HUGE, so beware wee displays.

And no cheating by looking up HA closed auctions!

1.5

[MyThreeSons]

1.8-2.0, maybe high as 2.5 based on front cover only

[makeminemego]

2.5

[D84]

2.0

[KPR Comics]

1.0

[Point Five]

Technical low-grader, but nice for the grade. I'll guess 1.5.

 

 

[jdw1991]

2.0

[DavidTheDavid]

Heritage calls it a 1.8.

 

Graders' notes read:

Whole Book Moderate Multiple Crease

Whole Book Multiple Chip Out

Whole Book Multiple Tape

Whole Book Small Multiple Tear

 

Grade text reads:

Cover re-attached with tape. Tape on cover & interior cover.

 

It is blue label.

 

At least one person so far has the grade right.

I know, I know! I forgot about this for a day or two.

 

CGC gave it a 1.0.

 

I should've kept the nice 2.0 I had! In hand, this one looks every bit the 1.0. In fact, it looked so tattered that I didn't remove it from the Heritage packaging. I just sent it on straight to CGC, afraid to open it myself. A bit disappointing as I'd been pleased with Heritage's raw grades before.

[KPR Comics]

krap. That's a bummer.

When I read your addition of the label notes, 'cover reattached with tape' did jump out. If the front cover was split and reattached... it looks like it because the FC is a bit shifted... that's likely an automatic 1.0 unless the rest of it is stunning. One of those flaws CGC really hammers these days... I have a number of golden age books like that.
