Just cause there aren't any LCSes out here doesn't mean I can't score something...

That's right, Albedo #1, Bright Red, "Fine" $3.00.

Yeah. #3's a sleeper, IMHO. Here's why. Flip the book over and there's another cover with Usagi on it! And it's a pretty nifty cover, too.

Now, the print run for the first few issues of Albedo are super duper low. Search "Albedo" in the DU forums on this site and I posted the print runs that were published on a UY fan site from one of Steve G's responses to the reader letters. Not "rare" by Mr. Overstreet's rule of 50(?) or whatever he had as his rule 'o thumb.

Nevertheless, #1's total print run is equal to #2's. The above is the less rare version. #3's print run is pretty darn low too. So.. scoop up those Second Appearances while you can.

Okeydoo.

I paid $5.00 and was very happy and today i got my batch of Usagi's off Phantom too so that was cool.

I recently read that Albedo # 3 was not hard to find?

Considering the price difference to # 2 it must be a good chunk more on the print run.

Cant find the DU thread though if you can help that would be cool.

cheers

Of course when no one is looking for a book that had a 10,000 print run, it's not "hard to find"... My bad, I thought it was less than 10k, but still. A 10k run is not that large.

My original thread can be found here.

Just wait until the series becomes "HOT".

I would go with Albedo #4 over #3, smaller print run and an actual Usagi front cover. Actually, buy 'em both if you can. I just prefer #4 because I have a NM copy which I got a few years back.
