Description

Stunning copy!! Highest cgc graded copy!!
With only 2000 copies printed, this book is EXTREMELY difficult to locate in ANY condition - and virtually IMPOSSIBLE to locate in high grade, such as this example. This is by far the best known example, the only 9.8 with no 9.6s and a few 9.4s on the census. Simply a stunning book with no spine stress whatsover. My reserve is FAR too reasonable. Any spots are on the case and not on the book. The book itself is the deepest, deepest black. My scanner does not handle black well but trust me when I say that the actual book looks like the dead of night. Looks completely unread!! Jet black spine will make finding another 9.8 truly next to impossible. I sincerely hate to let it go.

I take paypal, cheques, and money orders. Cheques wait at least two weeks to clear. Shipping depends on bidder location and preferences but is at least $7.

happy bidding!

Unbelievable. I'm almost tempted to sell off my own copies.

Dear Stan,
Perhaps it is time for you to get those boxes of Albedo # 2 out of the garage........
Think of your children's college fund......
Does it strike anyone else as odd that someone would spend that much on a comic that they won't ever read?
Time to reprint???
Thank you for the fun!
Best wishes to all.

Hang on there Stan! I am reviewing the e-bay site to see if and when the "buyer" actually makes a payment, to make sure it is not some type of scam...
