Did you find the holy grail? I just got Albedo for $5.00 so add another 0 and we got a deal.


Spoiler:
I didnt find that but I found other usagi comics. Admit it it did make your jaw drop for a second. Why the sarcasm? you never know until you look.

The cover of this book immediately brings to mind the term "Quarter Bin" alongside of issues of "Prime Slime Tales," "Grim Jack," "Savage Dragon," and "X-Men Adventures." :P

As far as the probability of "finding the Holy Grail," I figure if any comic shop acquires this issue unaware of its value, then they'll either look up its value in order to price it for resale or else just inadvertently toss it into a box full of random, unsorted stuff. At least, I could see that as within the realm of possibility.

I doubt anybody would be able to find this with a $5 sticker on it though. That would probably require that somebody actually looked up its value and just proceeded to undersell it without fanfare. So the seller would have to be both diligent and stupid as opposed to just being either lazy or stupid.

Well, in all fairness to Azrael, I found a copy of Shell Shock in mint condition in the assorted bin at my local shop with a $5 sticker on it.

Hmm... good deal! I can see that happening with TPBs. Most sellers just slap a $5-10 sticker on them if they are just looking to move them, since they just assume that's a general rate for a graphic novel. I've seen some great deals on copies of Shell Shock and the 1987 Collected Tales of the TMNT TPBs at my favorite Louisville comic shop. I just picked up an extra copy of the latter the other day!

well my LCS has been pulling boxes and boxes out of a storage building and puting 25 cents on them just to clear out. found some late 80's thru current run.
