Incredible Hulk 181....complete but spare a grade? 0

[ADAMANTIUM]

it looked as though it might pass for off-white to white in bright lighting, now seams there might be a little cream in there

 

The staples are firmly attached and has value stamp-book complete

 

has a tear at top left near price, not sure how long it is didn't measure but it seems to be a little longer than one that I had that came back 6.5 if that helps...

 

whatever you call it near staples only one goes back toward the back cover, should be noticable in pics

 

also there seems to be "ripples" up close on the back upper right? maybe it got damp?it does not go to the back page...just back cover....

 

anyway, I'm thinking 3.5 but I don't know if that is conservative or not....

Need better photos.

[ADAMANTIUM]

don't know if this will work

3.5-3.0 that looks like a lot of color break creases on the side and a few rips. This is based on all your pictures..good luck with the grade. Also there is an actual separate forum when asking for a grade..

[ADAMANTIUM]

ya put it in the wrong thread on accident...clicked the wrong doohicky, saw "grading" in this title and thought I was clicking on "spare a grade"----sorry

 

I would move it to the "spare a grade" but can't seem how to even delete this thread....I apologize for the mixup- thank you for the estimable grade anyway and your patience. I appreciate it

Thank you CGC for moving the thread

 

whoopsie---!?

[Artboy99]

I am in the 3.0-3.5 range as well based on what I see.

It does have rather nice colors though.

[ADAMANTIUM]

sounds about right---3.0-3.5

 

Wonder if CGC would let me send it "economy" tier....?

[Omegadepot]

That books value is pretty high but around that grade you might be able to...you can ask the question to them but i think you might have to send it standard...you'll get it back in 20 business days...maybe....

Hard to be precise with the images provided (you must know someone who has a scanner) but as others have said-- it is in the 3.0/3.5 range based on the conditions seen. Even with a scan, you probably are in that range

[ADAMANTIUM]

I have a scanner but when it saves the image after scanning it saves it as a PDF...which I can't edit nor will the boards allow me to upload it because of the size. I'll figure it out...

There should be a setting in the scanner software that will allow you to change it from PDF to an image format such as JPG or PNG

[ADAMANTIUM]

Thanks for the suggestions--as I'm knew to this I broke down and just called tech support as this printer is new to me

[ADAMANTIUM]

Does anybody think these scans are good enough for future questions?? I think the scan got everything shown other than a tear near price, I'll still hope for a 3.0 - 3.5

 

Meaning what do you think, now?

 

and...

 

If scans are good enough, I now know how to "use" my scanner just want to make sure that they are "good enough" scans if I need to post future questions about books...?

2.5-3.0

[TheAvenger80]

I was thinking more like 2.0 tbh

[ADAMANTIUM]

well that sucks...haha no worries I have a 3.5 FF48 to compare it to, but I think that it will be around 2.5- 3.0 cause the tears are deeper.

 

They are only on the cover though and like I said off-white to cream pgs.....while my FF tears are not quite as deep into the cover as this IH181 it did have chips on the corners and the pages were cream/tanning etc. and almost kinda brittle...

 

I'm not going to complain on this IH181 it'll get what it does, but I have a signed copy at 2.5 and was just hoping for this one to be 2.5 or higher blue label goodness..

[ADAMANTIUM]

Well I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all who helped estimate a grade !!

 

Here it is back from CGC

[ADAMANTIUM]

I don't think that my scanner was made for CGC cases there is a line vertical in the scan down Hulk's left arm that are not on the comic
