Another moon? Blimey you wait years for one, and three turn up in a few months...

Don't you hate then that happens? It's like one goes for a high sales price and all of a sudden everyone wants to sell theirs and cash in!

But why is so hard to find Albedo #4?

I spoke too soon...

Is that a good price though? Seems a bit high.

I agree that Albedo 4 is tough to find. I finally nabbed one as a part of a lot and passed on a single copy for a great price considering the condition. See the link for more details.

I won the middle auction with 0,3,4,5 etc. $30 for the one you are looking at is exactly book value for one in that condition. NM = $40 VF/NM = $30 in Overstreet. Did you ever crack that Albedo #2 even though the value wouldn't really change?

I'd say $30 is a decent price for Albedo NR 4. 4000 copies harder to find than Albedo NR 3, and that Usagi front cover makes it even more sought after!
