Would like to have a 2.0 at a minimum but the cover shows pretty well so I'm happy with it. Seriously, that cover is amazing for a 1.5. It presents very, very well.

I just picked this beauty up for what I considered to be a great deal.

They sure did!

Has everyone seen this? It's an L.B. Cole recreation of WDCS #1 in the August Heritage.

You're talking availability. You're also assuming that every Spider-Man fan wants that Platinum #1. You should be comparing the # of collectors that want Spider-Man # 1 Plat versus the number printed. And the same with Albedo 2. Albedo 2 comes up for sale in high grade a handful of times per year. There is always a demand for those copies and it always sells for well above guide. I'm not positive the same can be said about Spider-Man 1 Plat. Is it possible that the demand will eventually be met by the supply? Sure. That can be said of any book. Albedo 2 has been a strong book for at least a year and a half. I don't see it slowing down any time soon...it comes up just too infrequently and there are always a ton of collectors willing to pay top dollar.

Anyone that watched TMNT in the 80s?

Exactly 2,000 copies were printed. How many do you think survived in great shape? From 1984 and from a no-name publisher?

Because it's the introduction of one of the best indie comics ever.

Good story + good art + scarce + niche market = high prices. I got $875 for my 8.5

Christmas for Shacktown (FC 367) is a fantastic story.

I love it!

Hmm, it's been a while since I've been on this thread. Dang school work and all! I'm eying up a few books in that Heritage auction, so I'm sure I'll get none of them.

Is it really a shock that Vegan (or whatever) was offering $1,500 for a modern book and once it surfaced she(he) was never to be seen again...?

Even if you had, it might not have beaten his max bid. Yeah, I know. I took a stab at that 8.0 223, too. I didn't want to go too high on it as I didn't like the writing on the front and back covers.
