kidcolt Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) This comic was undervalued for a long time but when it got hot it really got hot. Just try finding a copy for less then $500-800 in decent shape. Usagi has a huge following and this of course is his firt app. Add in that its an independant comic with only 2000 made and you have a HOT comic Overstreet list it as one of the best comics to invest in. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Albedo-2-Mint-Stan-Sa...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150005205416&fromMakeTrack=true Edited August 1, 2006 by kidcolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediknight Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I just don't care much for this comic. I'd rather have a Hulky 181 in 9.4 then an Albedo 2 anytime. By the way, the name is weird as all get out. It reminds me of a hulkin' phallic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Usagi is my favorite comic and an Albedo #2 is my grail. I have all 19 TP of usagi and thats about as close to the Albedo #2 as I will ever get. Alot of people are buying it for investment only, it is a great comic to buy just because of Usagi's popularity and the low amount available. Gotta love early independent titles.

the blob Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Albedo 3 is a nice seller for me. I had several and they always go for a nice $10-$20 a pop if in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
