BobJob42 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Just picked up a copy of Hulk 181, my first "major" issue in my collection. It's seen some better days, I'm pretty new at collecting but it looks like maybe a 2.0-3.0? would love to see your thoughts before I send it in!

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I'd say 2.0 or a little lower.... is the spine split at all? also, do the tears near the top staple go through the entire book? If so you might be looking at 1.8 Its also got a lot of "pressable defects" like slight bends, but I would put a lot of thought BEFORE pressing and such; if that cover is barely hanging on etc. and also it has other issues besides the pressable defects that it might not help the grade much but would make it more presentable in the CGC case to be proud of it etc.; also depends on if you want the extra cost to press....

BobJob42 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thank you for the feedback Adamantium, I truly appreciate it. The spine is not split nor does it appear that the tears go through the entire book. Is it honestly worth pressing? I know its a rough copy but I am ultimately happy to just have one ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Are the staples attached? Looks like a 2 on a good day to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how flat it lies, I'd just think that it would help presentation, not a grade bump by any stretch, but when I heard how much joeypost charges, it's hard not to consider asking him is all but NO probably not worth pressing... depending how much the book cost you vs how much to press, but it never hurts to ask? or I would even if I'm being foolish in asking, then I've heard reasons why etc. Edited August 3, 2017 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
