Nilo2 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 2.5 range. A good cleaning and press would definitely help this book. THE Bronze Age grail. If you can get it at a good price, go for it. I wouldn't pay above FMV though (IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill the Governor Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 There's a 95% chance there's some color touch, at least at the spine. Other than that I'd peg at a 3.0/3.5. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's green and purple color touch up and down the creases on Hulk. Apparent 3.5 feels about right. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a little bit of a funny green to the right of the hulk's abs but that's about it and probably not even what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green slathered on the Hulk right there, and a poor color match at that (click to enlarge his scan for a closer look). Some muddy touchups on the purple and black of Hulk's pants. Then red on the spine creases as Phil mentioned above, and on other random spots (top edge crescent crease, looks like). Agreed, with the strong prices on this book it's a good one to buy slabbed if you possibly can. Geoff2099 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
