Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0)
Condition Details
Moderate spine stress and wear, corner blunting, visible crease on bottom right corner, minor chipping along edges, and white price stickers/labels on the cover (notably over the title area)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $100 - $250 / Graded: $400 - $600 (highly dependent on the impact of the stickers and the niche interest in Canadian variants)
Recent Sales
Heritage editions of key Hulk issues typically sell for 10-25% of the US 'Incredible Hulk #180/181' values depending on the specific collector demand for French-language variants.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if the stickers can be safely removed by a professional pressing service (CCS). If stickers are permanent, the grade will be capped; however, as a first cameo of Wolverine, any edition holds high value.
Notable Features
First cameo appearance of Wolverine (Serval). Features Herb Trimpe's iconic cover art with French-translated dialogue. High rarity compared to US editions due to limited Canadian distribution.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Heritage edition from Quebec, Canada. Displays correct logo placement for 'EH' (Editions Heritage) and traditional newsstand pricing (25c). Paper stock appears consistent with 1970s Canadian newsprint.
