How many copies of Albedo #2 do you think still exist?

I ask myself this a whole lot. Considering that Steve Gallaci was actually trying to give these away at conventions at one point, I wonder how many ended up in trashbins, or got shoved under a couch cushion and folded in two. Does anyone know roughly how many Steve had left once the issue started drawing attention and selling above coverprice at conventions? I'm willing to bet that the number he sold is a decent low estimate of the number that remain, figuring that some of those would get lost and destroyed, just as some of the ones that were bought/ recieved earlier may have survived.
Maybe a better question to ask would be what conditions the surviving copies are in. Obviously, NM would be the hardest to find. With an all black cover, an independent publisher, and transportation to and from many conventions, I'm willing to bet some of them were below NM before they ever touched Steve's table. Mine's a VF. I wonder if that makes it much more common.
