I wonder how many of us in the forums actually have a copy of Albedo #2. Lord knows I don't.

I don't...
I haven't seen one at any of the comic conventions I've been to.

Well someone had one priced at $2000 at this year's SD Comicon...
I got mine in a far more reasonably priced bundle of all 15 Albedo issues that went for $860.
With a breeze comes a storm, but then you'll all be washed away...

Darn, I just can't remember if I paid $20 or $25 (plus shipping) for mine !
I think the days of finding one for that kind of money are long gone.

I purchased by current copy for $15 from highqualitycomics.com about 3 years ago.

I bought my copy of Albedo #2 for $1.50 back in 1984. Been a fan since then. I got it at the Village Books, which Stan may know of. (Remember Gloria?)
Wow. My investment in this book is doing better than my 401(k). Not that it's for sale.

Ah, another Pasadena resident. I remember Village Books very well. It would still run a far second behind Gary's Corner Bookstore, when it comes to amount of stuff in a small area.
I would usually see Nick Smith when I went in to VB. Nick works at the Pasadena Library's Main Branch now.
The Albedo's up to $800 now, with three days to go.
