shane1956 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) 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? Edited October 28, 2022 by shane1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Funnybooks Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 welcome back and I would suggest holding out for a copy with a better wrap. Plenty of copies in this range.

THE_BEYONDER Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 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 johnenock, The Lions Den and PopKulture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic-spider-man Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The miswrap gives you more of the front cover art. Get Marwood & I and MAY1979 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAY1979 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 if it's discounted due to the wrap great if not I'm in the camp of look for another copy. steveinthecity and namisgr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeminemarvel Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I’d pass. Too off center for me at 9.2. Yes I’m a baseball card collector. MAY1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I'm OK with this wrap. No white stripe on the front. Much better this way than in the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgross.com Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on if you like hulk's elbow better than Wendigo's elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpknface Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I think the fact that you have to ask really is your answer. Welcome back and happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 It's the price that determines whether or not this is a good buy, not the wrap on the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WernerVonDoom Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 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.
