My new keeper copy.  One of the nicest I’ve ever seen with a perfect wrap and centering and bright colors.  Had to have it

 

Wow. Probably the best I have seen yet. Congrats. Man it’s a beauty  

Curious if people find any good deals at local comic shows still.

Picked this up online for $1500.  Sent it to my presser and subbed for grading.  Came back a 9.0 with grader notes that said cockling front and back cover.  Subbed to CCS for repress and ended up with this....  Never thought I'd own one. Of course the wife thinks i should sell it.....lesson learned...no matter how childish your lady thinks you are for collecting comics, never tell her what they're worth...lol.

Cockling is from using the wrong materials, glad it worked out in the end for you. I remember paying 2500 for my 9.4 ow/w back in the early 2000s. Don't have it anymore since I traded it away for some magic beans.

According to CGC........

Cockling is caused by an excessive amount of heat or humidity applied during pressing.

Cockling occurs on the front and / or back cover of an improperly pressed book, giving the appearance of waves throughout the cover. This defect is common to pressed books — either in an isolated area of the cover or over the entire cover — and it occurs when an excessive amount of heat or humidity is applied during pressing. Signs of cockling may not become apparent until some time has passed after pressing. Cockling can be corrected nearly 100% of the time with a proper pressing.

Got another one 😁

And also this just came in. They finally started putting “Ad for Incredible Hulk 181” on the label! However I have to send it back because it should be PG instead of NG

Here is my old label

[justin]

-Yep, they are going to make it PG.

-I don’t know if they will update yours to include the ad on the label upon reholdering. You may have to call in and request it to be added

Hey just curious did you have to request that you wanted the side of the page where the ad is to be on the front of the slab? 

I honestly don't know how they decide whether it gets an NG or a PG designation? Anyways why would that be important to you? It looks great the way it is

I'm purely guessing, but I believe that on his the ad is on the front side in the book, as you can see i MP #19 it is on the "front" too, I believe most MVS are on that side of the page...

I don't know if that helps

Yeah you're right. I'm wondering since I want to submit a page to be slabbed  but want the back side of the page to be on the front of the slab. I'm pretty sure I'd have to request that in writing.

ya I don't know how they handle it on a case by case, but when your flipping through comics the MVS usually shows up first so I guess that is the "front"  

but if they did start adding "Hulk Ad" to the slab, I think that would make it look sweet, since it would be on front.....

I'm sure there are other issues worth the pages, I just kind of fell into MP#19 , even though I might have over paid idk

I didn’t request. I just assumed that they would put the ad on the front because other graded pages had the ad on the front.

PG is important to me because I have other graded pages that are PG and I want it to match. Also, I just noticed that CGC accidentally wrote “Page 10 only” twice on the label. 

[justin]

So I got it back from CGC and they fixed the initial problems but then they removed the text “ad for Incredible Hulk 181”!!! Grrrr 😡. Back to CGC it goes

I'm surprised no one asked who the original presser was.

I am assuming he is no longer pressing books for him.
