| For issue one, I have first print, fourth print, fcbd print, 4CG edition. I wonder if I should start seeking out the other variants. | ||

| @Thanatos there's a raw BAM for $89 if no one has bought it yet, I've been patiently watching that one. And by patience I mean drooling out the side of my mouth impatiently. Lol | ||

| Probably less, that would be the highest probability should every retail store take advantage and order one, which is unlikely. | ||

| I've been asked this A LOT. I have a theory only since there are no known official print runs of most comics books anywhere with the exception of more recent inhouse studio publishers like Aspen or J Scott Campbell. With that disclaimer said, we're talking about a 1:50 comic book. The first question to ask truly is: How many of the largest comic book stores are there in America? A comic book that most local comic book stores did not order. At all. Few did. I only hear of them anecdotally anyhow from fellow fans. So, if nobody hardly ordered them, yet you had to be bold enough and Rick Sanchez enough to order 50 copies for your store, you received one of these. Let's pretend for a second it was on the top of the stack from Diamond Comics, too for maximum minty freshness, too. That all blackass back cover is a true pain the ass to deal with. Now if all these planets were in line just right, during the second equinox of an otherwise impossible feat to accomplish, you had a copy to sell in your store. Honestly, I don't even know how these exist in the wild. So if there are 2500 comic shops in America (Diamond has allegedly 2875 accounts in 2017, up 3% from 2010) and only 100 of those 2500 are big time shops like Mile High Comics in Colorado, MyComicShop in Texas, Forbidden Planet, Midtown and Jetpack Comics covering the NE, etc., those shops most likely are where these variants come from. So take the numbers of the biggest grossing comic stores in the USA and there's your answer. The largest states with the largest number of people per capita per square mile with enough strip centers and demographical regions. North Dakota, Alaska and Montana and Wyoming sadly don't count because come on, they're North Dakota, Alaska, Montana, and Wyoming, lol. "flyover states" So a 1:50 cover from one of the top comic stores in the country with enough overhead to swing over 50-100 copies of each issue on a subscription basis with Diamand can be a very vague question to answer without enough data. 18 out of 50 states cover this criteria. so let's do that: 1:50 cover 18 out of 50 states ordered it hypothetically 6 / 18 are huge states with lots of money so let's pretend they ordered 100-200 copies: 24 Let's pretend those 24 survived Diamond Distributors' packing/shipping to the LCBS 3-5 of those 24 were shipped to grading from the comic shops Only 4 are on census with CGC: a 9.0, 9.4, a 9.6, a 9.8 So I think there's less than 15 raw out there still. One is on ebay right now for $1500. That's my Roiland Variant theory. Very rare. |

Downloaded the "LetGo" App, plugged in my home zip and started typing in key things of interest like "comics" but found nothing worth a damn. Typed "Rick & Morty" and this popped up, are my eyes deceiving me or is that a 1st print in the back? Please god still be available! |

| @kaptainmyke It appears to be like a local craiglist. You snap a picture of what you want to sell and people can respond and come pick it up. | ||

| I wouldn't do any local transactions on craigslist or any app without a 2nd person knowing exactly where I'm going and conceal carrying. Don't trust anyone haha this is why as good as that $10 deal is, I wouldn't have my wife go pick it up for me...well and because she doesn't understand the obsession yet. #soon | ||
