GUESS THIS! Most common 1970s book AND grade... 0

[valiantman]

Without looking them up (you'll know if you're cheating or not)... what does everyone GUESS is the most common 1970s book AND grade according to the CGC Census (January 1, 2019)?

I'm guessing the Star Wars. I'm not sure though.

[ADAMANTIUM]

It's definitely a hulk

8.0 Hulk

My guess as well.  I figured since there are approximately eleventy billion Hulk 181's graded and 8.0 is probably a good average grade for that issue it must be right.

11% of the first 27 voters were correct.

Spoiler

I like how Star Wars 1 is first, second AND fourth on the list!

I went with Spectacular Spiderman 1 9.6.  Figured it would be an early speculation book that people would need to slab to get any money back out of it.  Also, there cant be that many Spectacular run collectors anymore who are still holding their treasured raw copies.

i'm thinking i should have guessed Star Wars #1

[Readcomix]

I thought hard about 8.0 Hulk but went with Star Wars, high as 9.6 is, because I recall it having a print run over 1 million. I would guess that Hulk issue sold somewhere between 180,000 and 240,000 copies. Based on my guesses, I figured a healthy bolus of SW1 might exist to put 9.6 over the top.

Thanks again, Claudio. Lots of fun!

nailed it-- helps that I was just reading about Star Wars 1 I guess.

[ninanina]

I guessed Star Wars 1 only because it was the only one on the list I had 20 copies of. Not all 9.6...but all higher grades.

[GregoryGoat]

Huh, I guess I should trust my instincts more. I was feeling Star Wars because of the amount printed, and how many ended up in collectors hands because of affordability through the years, and looking at the date CGC was founded corelates with the resurgence of popularity for Star Wars.
