PGM Hulk 2... worth slabbing? EDIT: grade in... holy c#@p... 0

It could do with a press to fix the spine roll... but maybe that's just like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. LOL... I'm thinking 1.0? or is that hoping?

Grade in...

[TheAvenger80]

Yeah, 1.0 sounds about right. Still a sweet book! Worth grading? I would say no, that's a perfect copy for perusal

[Gnasher]

Yep 1.0, yep slab and protect, read online for perusal. 

[FoggyNelson]

Yes , reading copy is still worthy of a cgc slab😃‼️

[theCapraAegagrus]

MAA: 1.0

[Lucky Baru]

That's the grade of that book I'm always trying to find.  0.5-1.0

[1950's war comics]

definitely worth slabbing !!!

despite the piece out, it is better than a 1.0 IMO as the eye appeal is 2.0-2.5 otherwise. I'd say 1.5 and some dealers wouldn't blink calling it a 1.8

I recently submitted a low grade Hulk 2 , it had sentimental value and I wanted it slabbed. It came back a 2.0 and yours looks better than mine. 

[Westy Steve]

I agree with the latest grades.  If that piece wasn't out, I could see a 2.5 with a press.  If you press that book, ( a good job that reverses spine roll ) even with the piece out, I could see a 2.0, and a 1.8 conservatively.  The book has structural integrity, no tape or writing, reasonable chipping and big uninterrupted areas.  I like this kind of book.

Right on the borderline of 1.5/1.8 IMO. Looks great for the grade!

Well, I’m putting together a shipment for @joeypost pre-CGC, so I guess I’ll include this. I’ll be fascinated to see what he does with it, and the subsequent grade. 

[Lamborghinikid]

I think it has a little more potential than a few of the guesses. I know there is more to grading than the cover but your example looks much better than mine. Mine is slightly faded , plenty of other flaws and I did not have it pressed and it got a 2.0. I will try and find a few photos of the book before it was slabbed

are you planning on selling it? If not- what is the rush in slabbing it? Are you concerned there is some restoration?

If this were my copy, I would leave it as is and would not be selling.

I am in the gradual process of selling off my whole collection.

Should know on this one today... @joeypost worked his magic... but there's only so much you can do with a big chunk out of the cover...

...it kind of is what it is.

 

 

[Point Five]

My earlier guess was too harsh. I'd say it's right on the 1.8/2.0 borderline, and with many positives plus a pressing I'll say it squeaks out the 2.0. 

 

[surfertso]

Slab it if you got it for cheap so to protect your investment for the future.
