67Lovers Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Hi, This is my first post to a CGC board and I’m asking for your help in determining what grade this Hulk 181 might be. I will be submitting this book to CGC shortly and asking them for a C&P in addition to the grading. I have looked through all the pages and they appear fine. From my observations, I don’t see any major flaws with the book but would like opinions on what I could expect from a C&P in relations to the dings and other defects. Plus I have read many posts here where the people commenting really know their grading and could point out things I can’t see. Thank you.

marvelmaniac Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Welcome To The Boards!!! What I see is... Edge wear/dimples on the outside front cover and lower rear cover, slight color loss in the Red areas of the front cover, slightly blunted corners, I also see what appears to be two separate creases on the front cover...???

LowGradeBronze Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I was at 8.0 until I saw the back cover (especially the bottom edge,) which I feel will drag it down to 7.5 but wow, what a super clean and bright copy!

grendelbo Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I'm with the 7.5s. C&P may bring it to an 8.0 because it's an attractive copy. Color-breaking edge wear and some places that may not press out will hold it back from anything higher. Thanks for sharing.
