That's a good looking book. Did you read this specific copy?

Aaahhh Amazon! The perfect place to pick off unsuspecting collectors. Does anyone even purchases comic book on Amazon anyway?

9.0. I would not spend the money on a press. The value difference from 9.0 to 9.2 isn't there. Of course it's not always about value. Just my opinion.

8.5

So it's a giant silver "coin" of the AF 15 cover. Weird.

What is this book worth/cost?

Well then it's not VF range either. It must be a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma range.

I say crack it out, melt down the label, and make some fine hand crafted jewelry. CHA CHING!

Isn't 9.0 (VF/NM) "NN range"?

When you said "Craft time w comics" this is what I thought you meant. Crown Courtesy of my daughter.

"Not in this thread"? Are you implying that you will elsewhere?

I have seen the Hulk 181 CGC 9.9 in person. Would it be a 9.9 if graded today? It is also an old label.

THAT'S RIGHT! They called it a facejob. Memories.

Does anybody remember the upgrade scandal when books were getting upgraded by moving front cover spine defects to the back cover with spine realignment? Those were the days.

What did they do press it between two encyclopedia?

Agreed.

Are you talking about the crease through the Bunnies ears? That looks like a printers crease. I wouldn't count off for that.

7.5 due to foxing on back cover spine.

I'm pretty sure if any part of a book is brittle then it will receive a slightly brittle designation. The missing cover piece and the top spine split that splits the cover and pages gives me concern. Regardless I would grade this 4.0 - 4.5.

I purchased a Hulk 181 from a guy. He cut out the stamp himself and kept it with the book. I thought that if I taped the stamp back into the book it would receive a blue label with a note on the label. Something like "piece reattached with tape" I was wrong. It still came back green. Go figure.

Brittle pages?

Age of the book itself.

Let's have some fun and see who can post an image of the oldest 9.9! GO!
