 I wouldn't because - these sealed packaged comics are fairly old and scarce
- it has a big error in it which makes it even more collectible
- never been opened which makes it bonafide near mint.

Well, I've no interest in reading that particular Hulk. If the same holds for the other books in the bag, I'd leave them in the bag and keep it as a curiosity.

I used to get those bagged comics from Toys-R-Us when I was a kid. They came 3 to a bag and you could never see enough of the center book to discern what issue it was. Part of my enjoyment was the anticipation of finding out what the "mystery" comic was.

Wouldn't you want to know what the middle comic is?

I have no particular interest in that (or any) Hulk comic, and don't buy singles. I'd probably give it to a friends' kid.

Am I missing something...what is the error with that comic? Also what else is in the bag, or are you unable to see?
Bags like that are rare, and on ebay it seems that even regular $2-3 comics outside the bag can command bigger bucks. That being said, I would not always say that a bagged comic is high grade. I have seen some (from the 90's) that upon opening, had some major dings to it. Also, I have seen it where the bag cause ink transfer and nastyness to the books, as well as a weird acidic odour.
But it is kinda cool...I would sell and use the money to buy something I love. If it was a cooler book, I would keep and display.

Am I missing something...what is the error with that comic? Also what else is in the bag, or are you unable to see? Surprised no one has spotted the error yet. The bag comes with about 1/2 inch space on each side, or about an inch of space to move the comics around. Enough to spot these 3 comics - INCREDIBLE HULK #202, MARVEL ADVENTURE FEATURING DAREDEVIL #5 & BLACK GOLIATH #4. All with 25c covers...so 3 comics @ 25c each should never sold for 89c. Bagged comics came with at least a cent discount, eg 2 @0.25 for 0.49 bagged etc. The error was in the packaging and this bag might have been pulled. |

Maybe it was an intelligence test.

BLACK GOLIATH #4? Well, that changes everything. Rip that thing open!

I'd leave it sealed, because I already own that particular Hulk issue as well as the Black Goliath issue and I have no interest in the Marvel Adventure book. If I came across this, I would snatch it up as quickly as possible, then turn it around and try to make as much profit on it as I could.

I bought comics like that in bags way back when. One of my first comics came from a bag like that, the next superstar to the silver screen, yes,  |

Well, if you're going to ask and answer your own questions. . . 
FWIW, I couldn't agree more with points 1 and 3; preservation of items in their original state has value.
I wasn't able to do the math required for point 2, but I accept that it is plausible.

I'd leave it sealed, because I have no interest in reading any of the comics inside.

The first comic I ever read came from a three pack like that. It was the second chapter of Daredevil: Born Again where Matt chokes out a slumlord at the flophouse he was staying at, beats down some muggers on a train, threatens Foggy on the phone, then gets the starch kicked out of him by the Kingpin. I can go word for word from memory on that comic. That issue is why I remain hooked on comics, but the adult me sorta questions why I was allowed to read it at eight years old.
I know there was a Byrne FF in there, too. (Wouldn't realize it was Byrne until later in life.) Something about Sue, Jen Walters, and Janet Van Dyne getting their hair done, then stumbling upon an armored figure attacking the Latverian embassy. Sue thought the armored dude was her father, but it turned out to be Dr Doom in disguise or a different body or something. (Going with different body. I remember a mention of the Ovoids. Can't remember where I put my keys from one minute to the next, but I remember a mention of the Ovoids from a comic that's 30 years old.)
Can't remember the third at all.
