Lenshaw Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I am new to CGC and could use any help you can give. What grade do you think it is now? What do you believe it would be after a clean a press? Would you clean and press this copy, then have it graded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyNelson Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 3.0-3.5 cond👍🥓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenshaw Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Would a Clean and Press elevate the rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll help with the spine and with some of that top right front cover corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 3.5 C&P for 4.0/4.5. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 3.0 as is; 3.5 with a proper C&P. Those tears and color-breaking creases are permanent, those back cover discolorations are stains (which cannot be removed by non-restorative dry cleaning), and those interior pages are too dark to receive the benefit of the doubt with respect to condition grade. Would I spend $50 to have it cleaned, pressed, and certified? Maybe. But would I spend $100? Probably not (since Hulk #180 with its Marvel Value Stamp is a relatively easy sale in any condition). One man's opinion, as always. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenshaw Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 I appreciate your opinion. I asked for it and thank you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBTOTHEC Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 3.0 as is. I don't believe a C&P would be worth spending the money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I wouldn’t bother with this copy. I have one that looks a lot better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One man's opinion, as always. I saw the vertical crease too. 3.0 and 3.5 after C&P. The worst case would be 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
