There it is...Usagi Yogjimbo 16. It's a little art love, comic colletion love, character love (I love Usagi), and maybe a bit of long term speculation too?
This one popped up on the January 8, 2021 CBSI Top 10 list of hot comics. It's a good resource for those who like to collect comics as it gives you an idea of what collectors are currently after. This one was listed as the number 10 hot comic of the week, and was described as :
"$40-$50. These UY (Usagi Yojimbo) variants keep doing well. Gorgeous colors, likely lowly print and people just keep buying in."
I agree; this one is a beautiful cover. It's a 1:10 ratio and features the work of Jon Santolouco. I hunted this one on eBay since it first appeared on this list, and snagged a copy for $18 all in. Not bad...+$8 over variant. This one is definitely going into the Hattie Collection. My goal is to keep picking up these ratios for Yojimbo because I do believe scarcity is an asset with this character.
What do you think? Was it worth it? Are you fan of Yojimbo? Or should I have put that $18 on Doge? Always excited to hear what others think!
