Love me some Bronze Age Hulk. I'm currently reading through my Hulks but I haven't hit the Bronze Age yet. I'm on #126 now I think. I've got the entire Hulk run from #1 through #300 so it's been interesting to see the changes to the character so far.  2 years ago at the Baltimore comic con I bought about 50 Hulks, mostly Bronze but also some Silver and some Copper. It was a pretty good day. Got me a long way too completing the run. Looking forward to reading them all! 

That’s the best part about conventions for me.... the dialogue and filling gaps in runs - finding an under appreciated key is a nice addition

Joeypost’s list made me dig these up. Both nice but bad miscut on the Warlock cover. Does that whack the grade at all? (I already know it’s impact on desirability)

Based on the miscut you would lose .2 to .4 if the rest of the book is perfect. 

Check the top staple...looks like it has an issue.

Thanks. Staple looks a little bowed. Otherwise firmly in place.  Bowing may occurred incident to the miscut?

That looks like it popped on the outside.

I used to think that John Severin was Herb Trimpe's best inker, but I've developed a bit of an appreciation of Sal Trapani's work; a really nice combination of pencils and inks throughout the Englehart, and early Wein issues.

Sorry Joey but I’m not sure what you mean by popped?  No damage to paper just a weird staple. Here’s a couple other of my nicer ones.

Those are both super sharp copies. I am floored by how much these books are worth now in 9.8.

Turn just the front cover open. Is the cover still attached at the top staple?
