    Is it still MIP

    I've seen several hulks still on the card sell on EBAY with an arm or leg that has broke or fell off as Hulks known to do.What I don't get is they list it as mint in package.Its in the package still,I'll give them that,but its broke,thus far from mint,whats your take?

    IMO, it's a mint packaged, broken figure.

    Just like sometimes a figure itself is "Mint on Card" but the card has been kicked through a sewage treament plant. The figure itself still is mint technically.

    Prices usually reflect such things.

      I think a lot of people use the term mint in package for NEVER REMOVED FROM PACKAGE.

      It's a common thing but can get someone into a big hastle

          Ha Ha Ha. I Like that. I have a Penguin on a Kresge Card with a broken arm. He's never been removed from the card but He's still mint.....Just with a broken arm

            I guess there's no easy way to classify a broken figure still on the card. But even if the figure hasn't been touched by human hands since it left the factory, it's still not quite right to call it mint if it has a busted knee pin. If I had to describe such a figure I guess I would go with MOC (broken leg) or something like that. At least you are describing the problem.
