Spidey collectors/fans exist? Or...that Albedo# 2 with a "reported" print run of 2,000 (and with indies, you can never truly know, it "may" be much higher, or perhaps lower, but we have no actual means of knowing) and this books, what?...how many fans??? I have no idea, so i'll withhold my hypothesis.
Hence, if you argue that Albedo# 2 is the more "rare" of the two, the books fan base would have to be upward of 100 times the print run, and I don't know any, see any, or hear any (could be in my group of friends perhaps) discussion about this book, anywhere but on forums, and blogs. Anyway, which is more likely the rational truth? I don't know, but the math seems odd.
Just a question I've always asked myself about MANY independent Publishers "rare" books, and the overall print run numbers
Look, I don't want to read like a "hater", its all in good fun I hope If you really think about that comparison, and the lack of "hard information" from indie co's....who knows with these kinds of books? I certainly believe that the high prices being paid now, are the real die hard fans of this genre and character. I would expect it to drop in the future, after all, as you wrote, he's no TMNT is he???
