While prices are really high right now, there’s some debate whether this is a bubble or the new normal.

You could wait for prices to go down a little and “buy on the dip,” but overall prices are going up long-term.

Hulk 181 is an established commodity at this point and isn’t reacting to rumors or the fact that Wolverine will show up in a movie.

It’s basically a blue chip, so I’d jump on it.

Same with GSX 1.

Now, if you were asking about buying Black Panther 2, I’d say wait it out.

Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide!

Yea it’s be a long term keep. Wolverine is my favorite marvel character, well tied to the scarlet spider for me, but yea. Do you recommend going for a mid grade or low grade copy now? I can’t afford the 8.0 at this point

Cgc will grade with a qualified grade green label.

Unless you specifically request a Universal Blue label, where the grade with be actual, compared to the higher grade that the Green label suggests the book would have otherwise received.

Personally a qualified grade to me is like mutton dressed up as lamb.

The exception for me is a Green Label given to a signature. It has nothing to do defects and damage like the interior cut outs. If the sig is on the cover, then then buyer has a chance to investigate and compare before pulling the trigger. If it's on the splash page or elsewhere inside, then it's a dice roll. I bought a Hulk #340 Green label with a McFarlane sig on the cover. Seller claims to have got it himself, and added he also had Peter David sign it, but on the splash page. The label made no mention of it though, but I confirmed it's there.

Qualified 6.0 with a piece out is still a poor condition book.
Qualified was created for the seller to make more money,
Qualified grade never had the collector in mind.


Unless they were selling.

Again, keep in mind Green labels are not always given to damaged books.

(Covers / Coverless / Single Wraps or Pages)

These designations are only used for the purpose of authentication. Numerous collectors and comic fans will purchase coverless comics to either read or to obtain a filler copy of a book for their collection.

Books that are coverless, but are otherwise complete, will receive a grade of 0.3 from CBCS as will covers missing their interiors.

Coverless copies that have incomplete interiors, wraps or single pages will receive a grade of 0.1 from CBCS as will just front covers or just back covers.

I don't think it's singled out (although I'm no expert on the topic). It's just wildly the most important book that had the stamp.
