Nilo2 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hi All, I Just pulled the trigger on this Hulk 180. I'm getting ready to send this into CGC for the Roy Thomas signing event. Any ideas on the grade I might get back? Thanks! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Looks to be about a 5.0, but a cleaning should help. Nilo2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Design Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 5.0 sounds right Nilo2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 4.0 A C&P might get it to a 4.5. Let us know how it turns out. Thanks for posting. Nilo2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lpgk Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 at best 5.0. sub crease throughout book and stain on pages. Nilo2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo2 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) The book has a full length subscription crease that is most notable down the back cover. The front cover has the previously mentioned 3/4 creasing down the center. No other significant creasing other the the subscription crease. The book appears to have been badly pressed which resulted in the line down the spine on the back cover. Not really a line, more like a ripple. I'm hoping that a pro C&P will correct that and lift some of the soiling. The rest of the book does look good in the hand. Tan to Off White pages but nothing you can do about that. I'll definitely post the results when I get the book back from CGC. If the book comes back between a 4.0 and 5.0 I'll be happy. Thank you all for weighing in.

1Cool Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Is wolverine cut out of the last page? Edited May 14, 2022 by 1Cool grendelbo, Nilo2 and Bookery 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo2 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Hi @1Cool, There are no cut outs or pieces missing. Wolverine is there, thank goodness. That would have been a total deal breaker! The book is in really good shape structurally. The pages are on the tan side and there are a couple of pages with with some type of spot staining as can be seen in the interior pic that I posted.

Dick Pontoon Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I don't see any reason why it wouldn't pull a 4.0 - 5.0. I was thinking 4.5. Like you said, hopefully a good C+P will take care of the spine. Were you planning to use CCS or a third party? Based on a lot of the problems I've seen here on the boards, I'd be hesitant to use CCS. Nilo2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 looks like a likely 4.5 Nilo2 and FoggyNelson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideynut Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 First off congrats on the book! Nice score! Seems I'm a little late to the party but wanted to confirm I'm seeing 5.0- 5.5 with the assumption of a good clean and press. I'm using a FF 64 5.0 I have in hand to compare and I think your book is in a little better shape. Good luck! Nilo2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
