Popular Post mattn792 Posted January 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2018 Because why have only one 181, when you can (now) have three? Although the 7.5 is the only one currently in my physical possession - the 8.0 is in good hands trying to better itself, and ComicLink was threatening to baseball bat my knees if I didn't pay up for the 9.0, at least until I explained that I previously arranged putting two books in the current auction to offset the cost, then would pay the difference. Got this one off eBay, under current FMV too MGsimba77, 707comics, badback83 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on the books though! That book is a treasure no matter what centering or condition! Shinwar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unique to 181, it actually seems to be a pretty common occurrence on Bronze Age books. With 181, I tend to gauge my interest in copies by how thick the white stripe is and how straight it runs down the cover. My 8.0 looks very similar to this one, but my 9.0's is slightly askew. But the 9.0 has white pages, so give and take. You're right though, its really rare to see a perfectly cut copy of 181, even on the 9.6 & 9.8 copies.

It looks so good with the old Red Label, PLEASE don't get it reslabbed. I think the Red Label, adds value and I would not chance the possibility of a mishap with reslabbing. 9.6, in an old label is a great grade. Unless you absolutely see a pressable defect that is holding it to 9.6 don't get it pressed, especially if it's a keeper. I cannot imagine popping the staple from a press. Respect the integrity of the book in it's pure, original state. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Got this for less than cover price. There is a fingerprint smudge on the FC But otherwise it's a pretty sharp copy.
