As many of you know. Albedo #2 is the first Appearence of Usagi Yojimbo, the brain child of our good friend, Stan Sakai. Currently there are 2 copies of this book in the world that boast the CGC grade of 9.8. This weekend, and auction on ebay ended for one of those copies…for a cool $5100 dollars. Even Stan himself expressed shock on his blog.
Wow…just…wow. Click the pic to go to the auction while it is still up.
I have always wondered about the CGC grading… I like comics but I never liked them enough to be a big collector so grading is sorta new to me… What does it mean and how does one go about grading a comic… That didn’tgettogotocomic-con test comic I won with all the signatures on it, would that be something worth getting graded? I have heard signatures lower the grade, is that true, can someone enlighten my poor troubled soul?
