I just bought them both at a comic con for $85 Issue 180 is descent(VG/VG+) would even be better if not for the fact that it has some creasing and looks like it sat folded in half for a while. Cover is firmly attached but is faded some. Now for the real question??? Issue 181 has the coupon missing and looks like someone had it sitting unprotected for quite a while. There is a lot of creasing in the comic but the cover is still attached. I would like to rate it good but it makes me go ughh with the creasing. Now for the big question??? Did I over pay or did I get a descent deal?? I mean it is beat up a little, but it should go up in value right?? I would post a scan if I knew how?

I personally would not have given 20 bucks for it w/ the coupon missing. But thats my opinion. As far as value goes check the price guide at the grade it is minus a grade or two for coupon cut out. (i would think, but wait for some seasoned comic valuers to judge)

If it is a really beat copy AND the stamp is cut, you probably paid FMV for it. VG copies are going for $150. So, if your copy is about a 2.0, you probably paid about FMV for it.

| Impossible to determine without seeing front and back scans of the book but I'll throw out a guess here. If slabbed, the book would receive a green qualified label and by your description would probably grade at a 2.0-2.5 which would probably sell for less then $80 If the 180 is around the same grade then indeed you probably paid full value for those two books.

I'm very happy o have these two books in my collection Most of the time , I'm a cheapstake always looking for bargins. I just don't dish out big bucks for too many comics. Yes I do consider $100 bucks a lot for a comic.

I say post scans of the books if you want to get a true opinion of what others think if you got a good deal or a not so good one
