after zooming in on the front cover, it's like the front cover doesn't seem as unblemished as it should be. this may be due to the fact that the case is probably scratched up and that's what we're seeing.
but there's no denying that there is a small chunk missing from the top right of the back cover.

There's a tiny white chunk missing above the bottom staple, but I don't see any ticks/creases. Maybe the tear on the back is considered a binding error? I haven't seen many Albedo 2s so I don't know if that's a common issue they let slide.

the tiny chunk above the bottom staple is probably considered binding process normal. if i had to say anything about the top right back cover chunk it would be due to cutting process?

this book will also be on heritage at the same time as the albedo 2 cgc 9.8.

maybe it'll take off some of the attention and keep the albedo 2 "low"

i believe the turtles 1 won't go much higher than where it is now. with the buyer's premium it's almost $36k. the buyers premium for heritage is 19.5%.
one turtles 1 9.8 sold on ebay for $30k in december.
the albedo is currently $4300 with the premium. my guess is it will go for somewhere between $5-6k total with the premium. i don't think it would go over $7k total. but then that would mean it's valued at 20% of the turtles franchise!

The Albedo auction has been highlighted as a “curator pick” on Heritage, which may push the price up a bit more...

Holy Cow!! Unreal!!
10 years ago I bought several key issue comics (Avengers#4 etc.)
Man I should have aggressively pursued THIS comic back then!
Now it too late, I can't afford it!
