I.H 182:-  9.2/9.4 may benefit from a clean and press.

I.F 15:- 9.0/9.2

Nice books.

Hulk 182: minor wear along top cover edge and both top corners, tiny color breaking spine tics, some light soiling along the back cover spine edge.  beautiful copy

CGC grade: 9.2

 

Marvel Premiere 15: minor wear along the top cover edge, slightly rounded corners, small color breaking spine tics, light soiling of whites on iron fist logo and on entire back cover, multiple small spine creases on back cover, long vertical bend/creases on back cover near top of spine and left edge of back cover.

CGC grade 8.5  - a clean and press would definitely help this one

I'm fairly confident that the discoloration on the back cover of Marvel Premiere 15 is soiling and not foxing, and should be able to be cleaned.  If you look at the spine creases, the color inside the creases are gleaming white while the flat areas are discolored, indicating soiling due to contact with a dirty surface.  Thoughts?

That kind of soiling, I just give a light rub down with a  chamois leather cloth: much safer than an eraser and brings up the gloss nicely imo. but a professional clean and press would be best at this level.
