Help spare a grade?18959

Recently purchased this great copy of a hulk 180 for only 300 USD! I was kinda curious as to what grade you guys think this comic would get if i were to send it to CBCS. There are old tape marks but the tape is no longer on the comic.

I haven't aired it out. It's part of the provenance. Galen130 private msg quote post Address this user
Is that tape on the front at the top spine corner, or tape residue?

did the tape server any purpose, such as a spine split?

I'm still learning but I would give a 5.0 looks like a crease going down spine that breaks color.bottom left.spine tics under to the right of hulk pic,color breaks on edges going across bottom.and the tape residue.also stains on back cover.i'm not a pro. So don't take my word,just putting my 2cents in b4 tell ya the real deal.good luck

The spine issues really bring down an otherwise nice copy of the book. White pager too.

Best case is a 5.5, more likely 5.0.

My gut says 4.0. Are you planning to press?

How do I know this? Because I've done it myself. lawguy1977 private msg quote post Address this user
My gut said 4.0 as well. Definitely press it if you send it for grading. Awesome book!

A professional cleaning will help the eye appeal for sure. No higher than 5.0/5.5 afterwards…in my opinion. 🙂👍
