Hulk 181 what do you think?

[Whotony]

Huge pics but better to see it.

Taking it in and need opinion on what

grading level to choose.

 

Was thinking either standard($60) or express($95)

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

[NoMan]

7.5. It's pretty dirty on BC. With the small tear on right front side only, it's an 8.0.

 

Take my grade with a grain a salt. I'm a novice.

 

 

[grebal]

I'm about one below NoMan, 6.5 to 7.0. If cleaned up a bit. If super fresh maybe a 7.5.

Biggest deduction I saw was chip from bottom right corner. It may be a lot nicer if I'm seeing surface wear that isn't really there (such large pics after all).

[Artboy99]

I am at a 6 tops.

That is a tear at the top yes?

 

[Whotony]

Ok thanks.

 

 

No tears on the top.

Definately should go to ccs first for pressing and cleaning. I'm looking at an express order 8.0-8.5.

[comicquant]

The large scans definitely embellish the issues with the book. I'm at a 7.0 where it sits but am sure a dry clean and press would pay off. I think you could nudge out an 8.0. Those pop tears on the right edge of the front cover may keep it at a 7.5 (after DC & P)... Is that a tear on the top left corner or just a crease?

[Engr62]

I'd say 6.0 tops with that tear in the front cover above Hulk's left arm. Really nice book otherwise.

[Whotony]

I took the pics with a macro lense so everything is seen essentially with a microscope.

 

No crease on top or tears.

 

Yikes a dry clean and press?

 

How much would that run me?

[Columbia Comics]

Standard.

 

Needs light press and cleaning.

 

Should be 6.5 or better once it's cleaned up

For this book, I feel the benefits will far exceed the costs. If you use cfpcomics (boardie = joeypost) its $15 for dry clean and press. CCS paper (cgc affiliate) would maybe run $60 if you use the standard track. The new submission bakes CCS paper's services into the process if you wish to do so. I've used cfpcomics for numerous books but have never used CCS so can't speak to the service but those are the two pressing services most seem to use. What I like about cfpcomics is they take the finished books to CGC (not ship) after they're pressed so you save on shipping as well as the books aren't sitting around for lengthy periods.

[Primetime]

6.0

[Whotony]

Well I took it in.

 

See what CGC has to say and take it from there.

I can still resubmit it later if I have it cleaned and pressed I suppose.

[Whotony]

BTW I did look up Joe Press of CFP and I live very close to his location.

 

I sent an email to him with a few questions but never got a reply so that doens't help me or him.

 

Also it would take months according to his site to get it back.

 

I wanted to get it to CGC as sson as possible.
