Opinion on this 9.2 Hulk 181 1 1

[shane1956]

Hello everyone, long story short I sold off my collection about 5 years ago and will be getting back in. I'm considering this copy of Hulk 181 in 9.2. I'm wondering what your honest comments are as it relates to the "tight" wrap on this book. You can see that the "2" in the "25" is pulled to the back cover. What do you think?

welcome back and I would suggest holding out for a copy with a better wrap. Plenty of copies in this range.

As already said....there’s really no reason to settle for a miswrapped copy like this when there are so many copies available.  Personally, I’d rather have a 9.0 with white pages and good centering than a miswrapped 9.2 ow/w for the same money

The miswrap gives you more of the front cover art.

You will never be unable to see that flaw.  If that bothers you, then pass.

It's almost the only copy of "Credible Hulk."

[Funnybooks]

it's a wraparound double page cover

Let's do the "tight" warp again

if it's discounted due to the wrap great if not I'm in the camp of look for another copy.

I’d pass. Too off center for me at 9.2. Yes I’m a baseball card collector.

This says it all.

I'm OK with this wrap. No white stripe on the front.  Much better this way than in the other direction.

The cover is also yellowing.

Pass.

i personally always hold out for white page copies of 181 too. they are not hard to find. and i do think a better wrap is in order at this grade level.

I guess it depends on if you like hulk's elbow better than Wendigo's elbow. 

[pmpknface]

I think the fact that you have to ask really is your answer.  Welcome back and happy hunting!

It's the price that determines whether or not this is a good buy, not the wrap on the book.

I think thin, white spine is waaaay preferable to this. I think it almost looks as good as a perfect wrap. Frames it

A) Comics are not baseball cards. Who cares about wrap? B) The wrap on this book is almost perfect for the art. Wolverine/Hulk are perfectly centered. Wolverine's arm goes right to the edge and you see almost all of Hulk's arm.  If you can get this cheaper than other 9.2s, don't hesitate because of the wrap.
