I think this Incredible Hulk #181 deserves a second opinion . . .

8.0

[B-Smooth]

8.5

[marvelcollector]

IMO..9.0...too many stress marks on pine keep out of 9.2..

(This is just a test, isn't it? You're going to see what everybody graded it the

first time and embarass us.. )

I would say a 9.0....8.5 at absolute worst.

9.0

8.5

[uclapeterg]

8.0. Fugly pen mark.

[Inhuman Fiend]

8.5 to 9.0

 

The date is kind of obtrusive...too bad it had to be right smack in the middle of the H!

 

Regardless, very nice...

Grading Bastiche says 7.5....Man, did the writing have to be in that spot...in INK? I am much saddened.

Personally, and lucky for me, I think this is the nicest of the three . . .

Which three?

yeah, no better than an 8.0 with the spine stresses. that date is UGLY and i don't care what they say, this isn't a GA book where a handwritten date is quaint, it should subtract from the grade. someone writes their name and you deduct a grade, but an ugly date smack dab in the middle of the cover is ok?

[johnenock]

8.0 because of spine stress. Maybe an 8.5.

Well we now know why you called yourself "the blob"

[inconceivable]

9.0 VF/NM just the accumulation of several minor defects on the spine. Just a tad shy of the NM- grade.

9.0. Just too many spine nicks to do better. I don't think CGC would subtract for the arrival date, but it is an obtrusive one that reduces eye appeal somewhat.
