Quote:Originally Posted by rckstr1253 I'd say zero. I can see minor wear on the corners. I would think even if all else is perfect it would land 9.8 or 9.6 with the wear. And there is a small flaw on the top cover near the right hand corner. (Could be a part of the normal printing I guess) - and that was like 30 seconds of looking. It is a nice copy though. Just no way would I say 9.9 |

| I see light soiling on bottom back cover. The book is probably a 9.4 at best. Also can't figure out what is going on with the top back corner, is that a piece of tape or bad restoration or what? | ||

| I remember when I was collecting Elektra comics years ago, there were several perfect 10 PGX issues for sale on e-bay. They were actually common. This was my first indication that their grading was far too lenient. There is however one CGC 9.9 Hulk 181 on the census. |

| Peculiar that it has a new design label (2017), but was graded "2/14". Perhaps it was just re-labeled. | ||

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| 1 PGX is a joke. 2. You are forbidden to post PGX pictures here, you may want to kill the link before the mods do. |

| Hey did you guys read the description???? "This comic is one of the most pristine to exist in present day. The comic is perfectly flat with no creasing AT ALL, with the sharpest corners I've ever seen on any other Hulk #181 9.8 or higher. The pages are a beautiful WHITE. The only imperfection on the entire book is the top right corner of the front cover has a minute original printing ink spread. These are common on comic books and come in various shapes/sizes. Before PGX encapsulated it in 2014, it was previously a CGC 9.8 Universal, but due to time and cost-effectiveness the PGX Signature Series was the best option for it's original owner." |

| Having a 9.9 of just about any book would be awesome but I'd want it to actually be a 9.9. If this was mine I'd get a refund from They Who Shall Not Be Named, have it cracked and graded by a professional. | ||

| Holy jumping Jesus. We're those guys high? - Can see creases or dings on the cover - Messed up right corner - Pages are almost brown - Spine roll awaybody? That's way way too much spine roll for a 9.9 or 9.8 That should be illegal |

| It's not a spine roll. It looks more like a stacking curl... if anything. At any rate, I wouldn't trust PGX to lick my lollipop. | ||

| I guess this 'lil bit, from the seller's description, was glossed over...by most of you? Note the lines that I put in bold face type.The seller is such a twat that he does not apparently realize that by stating that this book had been previously graded by CGC at a 9.8, the fact that PGX graded it at a 9.9, shines a spotlight on demonstrating PGX's propensity towards lax grading. If this is true, whomever cracked the CGC 9.8 for sigs and a PGX label to save a few bucks is one sorry bastard.The only thing that can salvage this book is to have it CBCS'd for a Red label.............. What is the comic's condition? This comic is one of the most pristine to exist in present day. The comic is perfectly flat with no creasing AT ALL, with the sharpest corners I've ever seen on any other Hulk #181 9.8 or higher. The pages are a beautiful WHITE. The only imperfection on the entire book is the top right corner of the front cover has a minute original printing ink spread. These are common on comic books and come in various shapes/sizes. Before PGX encapsulated it in 2014, it was previously a CGC 9.8 Universal, but due to time and cost-effectiveness the PGX Signature Series was the best option for it's original owner. What is the case's condition? The case is FRESH from PGX. I just had the label and case updated with their new redesigned labels and put into a fresh case. The case seems to have 1 small mark on the back near the top right corner of the book(seen in photos), as well as some sealant residue on the center left(also seen in photos). The comic is sealed and perfectly centered in it's case. The PGX certification number is 501142491, which you can call them to verify it's authenticity as the ONLY other 9.9 to exist besides the unsigned CGC 9.9 that sold for $150,000 back in 2011. |

| If you think about it, the seller is pretty smart stooping down to a PGX slab to get the higher grade. He is able to jack the price up hoping someone will just be buying the grade. There are a lot of rookies buyers out there that may not know the difference between a PGX 9.9 vs a CBCS 9.4 | ||
