Description: INCREDIBLE HULK # 1 1 OZ SILVER FOIL COVER REPRINT MINT / PRINT # 73 CGC # 1626853171 CGC GRADED 10.0 FIRST RELEASE ITEM IS APPROXIMATELY 1 OF 200 est. PROBABLY ONE OF THE NICEST DISPLAY ITEMS YOU WILL EVER OWN. VERY WELL DONE. IN APPROX 2019-2020 MARVEL LICENSED A DISTRIBUTOR TO PRODUCE CLASSIC MARVEL COVERS TO BE PRINTED AT ACTUAL COMIC BOOK SIZE, ON PRECIOUS METALS (SILVER AND GOLD). THEREAFTER CGC GOT INVOLVED AND DECIDED THESE ITEMS COULD BE SLABBED LIKE COMICS, OR COINS, AND GRADED THEREIN. AS PRINTED COMICS SLOWLY GO FROM NEWSTAND TO COMIC STORE DIRECT ORDERS, TO WHAT WILL LIKELY NEXT BE CONSUMER DIRECT ORDER TO PRINT AND THEN............ , MARVEL AND OTHER KEY FRANCHISES ARE LICENSING THEIR CHARACTERS AND HISTORY INTO OTHER COLLECTIBLE ITEMS. THESE SILVER "FOILS" BROUGHT THE COIN AND BULLION COLLECTING GENRE'S TOGETHER WITH THE COMIC COLLECTING GENRE. THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WAS PRODUCED WITH A MAXIMUM PRINT / MINT OF 1,000. MINUS DAMAGES, ETC WE ESTIMATE APPROX 950 OR SO WERE MADE. OF THOSE APPROX 400 WERE GRADED 10.0, WITH ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THOSE GRADED 10.O FIRST RELEASE. THE CGC POPULATION FOR GRADE 10 HAS NOT MOVED IN 5 YEARS BECAUSE ALL OF THE 10.0 GRADED WERE CULLED UP FRONT AND SENT IN TO CGC. THUS THE 10.0 POPULATION WILL NOT CHANGE OR RISE. EVEN THE BEST FOILS WOULD HAVE TROUBLE GETTING A 9.9 SINCE MOST FOILS ONE HANDLED OR DISPLAYED WILL LIKELY TOP OUT AT 9.6 TO 9.8. THESE WERE SOLD GLOBALLY THRU MOSTLY BULLION AND COIN DEALERS SO MANY OF THESE ARE OVERSEAS AND WILL LIKELY NEVER BE SEEN FOR SALE WITHIN THE STATES. ITEM, CGC CASE, CGC BAG ARE ARE PRISTINE MINT. I HAVE HAD A FEW CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYONE WHO LOVES THEM AND OTHERS WHO DO NOT BOTHER WITH THEM. THE HARD FACT IS VERY FEW OF US WILL EVER OWN OR EVEN SEE A HIGH GRADE KEY LIKE HULK 1. THAT AND THE COMIC COLLECTING INDUSTRY HAS TURNED INTO SLABBED COMICS WHERE ALL YOU SEE IS THE COVER ANYWAYS. SO THE ARGUMENT OVER THESE FOILS VS A COMIC BOOK JUST BEING THE COVER ARE A BIT MOOT. THIS IS THE COVER JUST LIKE YOUR YOUR SLABBED COMIC. AND ITS ALOT RARER IN OVERALL PRODUCTION NUMBER THAN MOST COMIC BOOKS. A NICE NEW COLLECTIBLE WITH INTEREST GROWING AND PRICES RISING.
