2019 MARKET UPDATE: A TOUGH BOOK TO CALL
Everything to do with Wolverine was scorching hot last year, not least Incredible Hulk #181, which is closely related to this issue.
Let's look at my grade pick and then move on to the trouble with X-Men #94.
IF YOU BOUGHT MY RECOMMENDED GRADE LAST YEAR:
Here's the bottom line.
This book is really, really hard to get a handle on though. Let me give you an example. Of three reported sales in CGC 9.8 last year, here were the results:
That is clearly insane, and probably unsustainable. Other grades show not nearly the same heat as Hulk 181, with a more gentle increase across the board.
I would hold your 9.0 if you still have it. I am not really excited about this book going forward.

2017 MARKET UPDATE: NEW TO THE LIST!
At the top end of the market, Uncanny X-Men #94 has broken out of the holding pattern past the $10,000 mark. You'd have made 50 percent if you bought one two years ago!
Of course, we're all richer in hindsight. As the prices below show, there is plenty of support for this book from people who don't have five figures to drop on a comic book.
We recommend a CGC 9.0. Note that for another couple of hundred bucks, you can afford a 9.2.
