Comic102 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hello, I currently have a Hulk 181 in a 8.0 and I have the opportunity to buy a Hulk 1 in a 2.0. But I am going to have to trade in the 181 plus some cash for the Hulk 1. Just wondering if having a hulk 1 is a better investment for the future? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber-Bob Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 As a Rule of Thumb, I always go for the more Vintage book. In a Silver vs Bronze situation, go for the Silver. However, I would make every effort to get the Hulk 1 while still keeping the 181. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 You need to buy 12 Hulk #181 CGC 9.8 at $21,500 each and one CGC 9.6 at $11K to match the price of Hulk #1 CGC 9.0 that was sold recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemart1966 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Not enough info given to make that call: 1. How much cash is involved? 2. I'd want to see each book - in hand 3. I'd want the grader's notes on each book All things being equal though, I agree with the others - Hulk 1 is the better investment. Way too many 181s out there in high grade.

Look at the sheer number of 181s on the "Please Grade My" section. I believe there were 7 on the front page alone last time I checked. It's a common book. Hulk #1, not so much. Good luck!

Dark Knight Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Short answer.. Yes! I have more faith in Hulk 1 than 181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno561 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Does anyone have a price trend over the last two years for the specific comics in question (hulk 1 2.0 vs hulk 181 8.0)? The question seems to be about return on investment, not a question of which is likely to be more valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustEatBrains Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Buy the highest graded copy of Hulk 1 you can afford. The prices on the 181 have gotten too insane with the supply available IMO Edited August 25, 2018 by MustEatBrains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you already have well over 10,000 slabbed copies plus all of the other raw copies still sitting out there in private collections.

DeadpoolJr. Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I see Hulk #1 as one of the top three most valuable silver age marvel books when it comes to first appearances of heroes or number ones. The other two are AF15 and ASM1. Considering what even a low copy of Hulk 1 is going for I would get it if possible if it won't cost you much out of pocket. Even though the IH181 is also on fire and appreciating in value at a high rate it will still cost you less than the number 1 and is much more easier to replace.
