PGM Hulk 181 higher grade
3 3

9 posts in this topic

Just purchased, was thinking of resubmitting to maybe get a higher grade (also thinking of resubmitting to get the cool Wolverine label since this one will never leave my PC).  I don't have a way to scan the book so took the best pictures possible (nearly impossible to not get shading with a cell phone and slab).  The colors on this book are the best on any 181 I have seen, so they should not take away from the grade.  I purchased the graders notes and all they say are:    "light spine stress lines breaks color".  Nothing else on the graders notes.  

Thank you for your thoughts and opinions!

The cb spine stress is barely noticeable in person but is clearly there.  There are really no other issues with the book but I guess I won't try for a 9.2.  They could not be fixed either.  

I'm happy with it as is, it's the nicest presenting 9.0 181 I've seen.  The imperfections are not visible from more than a foot away and the colors are strong.  I guess that's what I thought it might grade higher.
