| This position makes sense. These booklets look like they were cheaply made to begin with, so they are probably easy to reproduce. | ||

So did any of us decide what to determine about the MADMAN edition of these books? I have another random person emailing me asking if his is real because he paid $150 Australian Dollars for his. |

| Pretty sure madman was just distributor in Australia, so it should be real considering that the madman stamp was the only thing available in Australia | ||

| @kaptainmyke I purchased a Madman copy the other day off eBay but it’s yet to arrive. Once I get it I’ll post pics of it next to the other copies I have. I never heard back from Madman in regards to more information about the book. It did seam odd that they wouldn’t reveal anything else. We’ll see how it compares to the legit copy I have. |

| What I'd like to know is how CBCS can make that determination not even knowing if the book they were looking at was real. If you're holding one of the fakes, yes, I can see looking at that and saying crap this thing was printed on somebody's inkjet and anybody can make 1000 of them with a hand stapler and some scissors; not the case with the real one though, it's much better quality |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| If the madmen logo is a stamp placed on the original then I'd say it's an original. But if it's been reprinted with the logo I'd say that's not real and a reproduction. | ||

| I found out more about Madman Entertainment. They are a legally licensed bootlegger for Australia. I do not call them first printings. If anything, they were legally allowed to reproduce them for sale in a foreign country. That points to reproduction. These Madman books also feature a semi gloss cover. Big mistake if you ask me. |

| Thanks, I was trying to be funny. I agree they should be considered foreign editions, but only if they are actually from the same batch of first printings from 2014. Which I doubt, btw | ||

| If they were given permission to reprint them wouldn’t it be an industry standard to remove any indication that it is from a “1st Edition”? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by jrs No, it doesn't make sense. I wrote a [bleeping] [bleeping] 40 page document on how you can tell the differences. I have at minimum 2 people per day emailing me about this [bleeping] subject now. This isn't a copy of Gobbedlygook for [bleeping] sake. It's not the same. Google that one if you don't understand the reference. That's an entirely other different rabbit hole. Gobbledygook #1 (Mirage: 1984) Some counterfeits are designated by having a yellow cover/interior with a badly forged Keven Eastman signature inside saying "_ of 500". Others may have a blue cover. Only 50 were made of the genuine comic and they were not numbered/signed. Other counterfeits have darkened interior cover art on glossy white pages with an Eastman signature saying "_ of 150". |

| Here’s the seller who has sold a few copies of the Madman version. The-Good-Morty Mini Comic -1st Appearance of Rick and Morty,1st Edition (New) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F122788446885 As you can see in the pic the Blu Ray also has the Madman logo on it. Those of you with legit Blu Ray’s may be able to compare the case/discs a bit more than myself as I don’t have one from the first release.  After the last response they gave me declining to give me any information about them I’m not even sure we will ever have the complete story behind these. Safe assumption they made the discs, cases, and Good Morty’s themself? |
