PeterPark Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I've seen some heat on the Critters title. I looked at getting runs myself and they are not so overlooked right now. The meteoric rise of Albedo 3 and 4 is something to behold. I wish I saved some of my duplicates. Wolverinex 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Those 2 books are still very undervalued in my opinion. Albedo #3 should be hundreds considering how hard #2 is to obtain. Also Albedo #4 should be a lot higher than Usagi #1. In other news I snagged 2 copies of #10 fantagraphics series off mycomicshop today. Cool early Tmnt/usagi cover. Wolverinex 1 Link to post Share on other sites

F For Fake Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It's insane to me that Critters has finally taken off. I loved the book, used to always buy them, ended up selling off what I had left for nearly nothing a year or so ago. The only issue I kept was #2 as it has the preview of The Adventures of Captain Jack, which is one of my favorite comics. So that went in my Captain Jack collection. Critters was a great title, I wish they'd do a collection of all of that stuff, but I wonder if the rights issues for the various characters would prevent such a thing happening.

Albedo 3 is hundreds. Albedo 4 is much higher than Usagi 1. I am not so sure they are undervalued at this point. I think they are nice going books going for a significant sum now, and more than I would pay to have copies, if I didn't already have copies of both. maidenmate91 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean ungraded, the sold listings are showing $175 for a recent copy of Albedo #3. It should definitely be higher. Also multiple copies of #4 around $150. In high grade cgc they definitely reflect those prices you stated. Link to post Share on other sites

Even the 1st print of Usagi #1 is selling for 2x or more the price of Usagi Summer Special #1, which is the first solo issue of Usagi, predating the regular #1 by almost a full year. I think Summer Special is really overlooked at the moment, and I also think the other appearances between Albedo #4 and the regular #1 are still under the radar. To me each appearance of Usagi prior to Usagi #1 is more important than Usagi #1 as the story develops sequentially even if it jumps around a between titles. When reprinted in the TPBs and Hardcover books it follows the Albedo, Critters and Summer Special in order published. I am glad I did my run of Albedo and Critters books primarily last year before this big run up in prices. divad, Wolverinex and aardvark88 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Sam 1983 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Hulk 340, Crow 1, ASM 252, Secret Wars 8, Star Wars 42 have probably all been mentioned but have all increased a ton since this time last year. Oh yea, and a little book called TMNT 1! Edited September 10, 2020 by Sam 1983 Wolverinex 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sam 1983 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Sounds healthy for the hobby. I don’t post regularly but have back in to hobby for the past five years. This hobby is addicting, to say the least. I do feel copper era was next up. Bronze exploded a few years back. It was inevitable. I guess what’s so unique, however, about copper is the amount of popular low print run indies. I was a little scared of them not being in the mainstream but started jumping in head first a little over a year ago. I do think copper books are still ripe for the picking, even though many have realized significant gains recently. Outside of TMNT 1 and ASM 300, I see Hulk 340 (mainstream) and Crow 1 (indie) as the two biggest potential movers in the future. Still a lot of meat on the bone.

Apparently not this- I just got it at a local convention for $7.50. I remember it being a big deal back in the day. My old copy wandered off, so I was happy to replace it at a reasonable price. Great cover, but the art inside leaves something to be desired. shiverbones 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If they ever re-introduce Wolverine into the MCU or Disney+, this should be the framework for the promo poster. Link to post Share on other sites
