Can Incredible Hulk #1 Facsimile from The Folio Society Book be graded? 1 1

[CCascio17]

Hey guys, I am new to the chat, I was wanting to know if anyone had any insight as to if The Incredible Hulk #1 Facsimile that comes in the Hulk Folio Society box set can be graded? 

[Artboy99]

yes it can, but I would not grade the one in your picture (back cover crease)

This is just an example picture of one someone had in hand, I haven't got mine yet, but would love to have it graded

As long as it fits inside of a holder, and it can be determined as genuine or recreation, then CGC will slab it.

as long as it is similar in size to a normal comic, as they can encapsulate anything magazine size or smaller.

Knowing CGC's current QC, that book will come back a 9.8 original.

Would this book get a grade of "NG", I am noticing a trend of facsimiles that are clearly not trying to pass a originals getting tagged as "coverless" and getting NG. Is there a clear rule on this topic from CGC?

No harm in contacting cgc directly to ask the question to get an official answer so you don’t get wrong, unclear, outdated, incomplete, conflicting, if otherwise well-intentioned opinions from total internet randoms

I’m beyond annoyed as I sent in two barcode free copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 facsimiles that I had pressed to help improve chances of a 9.8+ and the were shipped today with the only visible information being a comment of coverless. Now I know why they were “graded” so quickly. The only consolation is I planned to use the best one for a display piece and I still can even though I would have definitely preferred a graded copy.

Why are comics with covers being graded as coverless?

You can see by the print year that its a reprint and they know it.

Interesting.
