Albedo 2 quest

Post by Gi_Ra »

I'm always in search of the elusive yet magnifcent grail. Albedo 2! Raw or Graded, I seek it for a fair price.

My Albedo 2 quest has led me to garage sales, auctions, staring at final bids then being devastatingly outbid. Daily checks on ebay is what I stare at but could there be a better deal?

If anyone has any good leads or is selling then please hit me up.

My never ending quest for Albedo 2 continues.

Take care all.

Which is an interesting question, does Stan still have any of these super duper versions of the cover? :)

My Albedo 2 acquisition was quite boring, I purchased a full set of Albedo volume 1 from eBay in great condition, but for less money than I expected, which was nice.

I recently contacted Daniel about a copy. Stan has a CGC9.6 for sale for $4000. Which is a little out of my price range :(

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to earn many months of ryo :shock: to reach that grade.

The search for the grail of awesomeness continues.... :-)

Take care all.

Not of Albedo, yet... I'm missing one issue I believe from its entire run across the four volumes.

Ei, and there's the rub! Fair price these days is high hundreds for pretty much any copy and if you are speaking of good condition, push that over $1,000.

It is not considered The Holy Grail of Usagi collecting for nothing.

Starting to creep up and still 2 days to go. Just over $600 at this point for an ungraded copy that has some spine wear. Curious what the final price will be.

These have ended. Beautiful issues. Any idea what they went for? I'm guessing well over $2000 for the 9.2 and over $3,000 for the 9.8?
