great book surfer!

 

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.

Did glastone use that recreation for wdc&s#600?

They sure did!

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

Sorry, that last post got cut off. but essentially, i was comparing Platinum Spider-Man# 1 and its 10,000 print run classified as "rare" against # of spidey collectors/fans.

 

and vice versa for Albedo# 2...claiming that its "proported" 2,000 print run, is most likely LESS "rare" given the fan base.

 

essentially

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.

I mean, seriously folks, not to be an azz...but....(no pun intended)

 

just how many people do you think have even HEARD of Yusagi Jimbo???

 

good lord, the horror

Anyone that watched TMNT in the 80s?

Tell ya what, if I find any "Albedo#2" books in my travels, i'll buy em' and sell them on this board for a penny each

 

I promise...cause' that's truly what they're worth

 

that is, until this minimal demand, reaches the thousands of supply

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

I STILL don't understand, why anyone cares about this book

 

Sorry, but it's just...odd

 

propaganda, and hype...at its finest, perhaps?

 

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

The older Christmas covers are awesome. Every Christmas I would look forward to the Disney Christmas special on TV.

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

Just got this back from CGC. Bought raw from Metropolis in spring of '05 as raw "VF/NM" . Census has one other 9.0, none higher.

 

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...?

Holy moly...over $5,700 for the 9.4 FC 367!

 

On a sad note, I woke up at 5:30 AM to try and win that Donald Duck 60 (9.2) to lose it by $5.00 My computer wasn't fast enough for me to outsnipe the sniper.

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.

That baby is going to go very, very high...it's a 9.4 AND it's an execsec book!

Unfortunately, I think you're absolutely right. I think the chances of this book ending up in the US are very slim.

Are you predicting a Hong Kong home for this book?

I just picked this guy up from Metropolis (who outbid me for it during the Jan 06 auction!) for a GREAT price.

Um, this thread can't die. It's my all-time favorite.

So post a Duck book!

I don't have any new ones.

I'm hoping my Duck-less posts serve as a catalyst for other Duck owners to post.

Um, this thread can't die. It's my all-time favorite.

Whatever thought it might help

I know, I'm just busting yours a bit.

Just as a note of reference, we had a 7.5 sell for nearly double that 8.0 right on these boards and a 5.5 (PGX) sold for more than that 7.5 on ebay...but thanks for the misleading GPAnalysis info.

In all seriousness, if the book garners no real interest after the evening board rush, I'll toss it on feeBay.

Although the book hasn't been on eBay in like 6 months, I think this is a fair price. Maybe I'm way off base but we'll see...

Where's Jon? Paging Mr. Jesper!

 

my heart hurts...don't bring it up...

I wish this was THAT book.
