Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke How is the overall quality of your case, disc, and comic compared to others you are pretty certain are real? I’m far from a DVD expert but my gut says mine are fakes. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as I ordered five used sets and they all came with the comic and manual that likely wouldn’t be in them anymore. |

| but do all 5 have good morty books and are all 5 clear, darker shade graphics, and mounted on the disc doors? if all 5 do, and all 5 are in fact, used, then it would logically seem like they are all 5 real. right? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke Yes, all five sets are used copies with Good Morty’s in each one and they all are structurally the same as the one in the pics. Odd to still have mini comics that fall out as soon as you open them though, no? I mean, I’m pretty sure the seller had already sold quite a few to raise a flag. Not to mention that the overall quality of the copies I have compared to other DVD’s that I know are real is slightly cheaper. |

| I've have not seen anything from another source to compare it with. Just because you're getting a pirated DVD doesn't necessarily mean the comic inside is a fake. Need evidence like detectable printing differences, errors, consistent defects, format, different paper stock or significant color differences. These are usually the hallmarks that distinguish the real from the bootleg On the other hand I don't know why someone would go to the trouble of obtaining legit copies of the book and sell them with the DVD. Also why don't they just sell the book direct and not bother with selling fake BR DVDs for $25 if they're getting or printing the bootleg copies themselves to begin with when they can sell it for $250 or whatever. Also, how is it possible to just print up tons of bootleg copies of this thing from 2014 all of a sudden in such a short timeframe, 11 days now since I saw that post on CHU? | ||

| This book was pulled from a genuine DVD release. As shown in the photos the discs' bottom (readable) side are silver, not ReWritable blue with hologram serial number on Disc 1 533259 and 533260 and Disc 2 is 533261 and 533262. This is legit, silver colored down side, serial #s on inside ring. Have 3 sets of these.         |

Interesting. My Plumbus manual is significantly a much lighter hue than yours....   Also the back of that good morty book looks jacked |

| I also have the same serial numbers but I’m still not convinced any of it is real. Has anyone shown a Season 1 case, disc, and comic with TWO staples that everyone felt was real across the board? |

| Well I thought my season 1 and season 2 dvd sets I bought together 9 months ago with a "COMIC BOOK INSIDE" sticker on both was real. His matches mine very closely. His inserts are darker. I find it weird that his comics are waaaay darker than mine. Which implies his are the copies. ...Right? |

| Sorry, but even your case looks to be a knockoff like mine. I’m not putting much behind the serial numbers. They also made fake mini comics to make it look as legit as possible. PS: I really hope I’m wrong and we all have legit copies, but too many things are raising flags. |

| Um photos can look very different when used on the same object in different conditions. Also depends on what camera, where, the lighting situation. Also if you use any auto-filters can affect the image. In the past lighter black ink indicated xeroxing but that doesn't necessarily mean anything either. Like what flags? |

Okay here's the original photos I took, you can see the bottom copy of the back cover shot has a bit of glare.  |

| Poor quality paper used inside DVD case. Color schemes are not true to the show. The wavey line on the back below he UPC. Having two staples. Me buying FIVE used sets and they all come with handouts that most fans would either save, or pitch. Not a single one of my used DVD’s actually looks used. I bought them off eBay that has a sea of fake DVD’s and Blu Rays on it. I’m sure a few other things as well. Those are the ones that instantly pop up to me as flags. |

| My discs aren't used, it was sealed, no scratches, the case insert looks commercially printed. Also the "wavy line" is hand drawn, and my photo is admittedly at an askew angle. Also, it doesn't add up that someone would go to the trouble, time and money involved to counterfeit the minicomics so they can sell it for $25 when they know they can sell it for $250 or whatever. And the serial #s. Also I'm a graphic artist and designer and I have experience and a good eye with telling the difference between inks, what process looks on different paper stocks. These books are all cheaply printed and are hand stapled so having one or two doesn't mean anything. The colors and saturation I've seen on every image I've come across are the same. |

| Counterfeiting is a MASSIVE business. I see no reason why they wouldn’t go to the trouble of making The Good Morty once they saw it in the original release. You may be a graphic artist but you’re currently on a comic site with only a couple posts attempting to prove a book many believe to be be fake as real. Trolls gonna troll and all. Nothing personal, I’m just a bit of a skeptic. |

| There are probably 50k copies of dvds/blurays on first printings. It's not far fetched there are over 10k of the mini comics printed. | ||

| What the hell does it matter if I have a couple posts LMAO what does that make me a newbie with zero knowledge now? I've been collecting for over 30 years dude. Not trolling at all. You're all in a huff that something's fake because what, one guy goes on a rant on youtube with no direct evidence to show of the book in question? And yeah photos can "lie". Depends what resolution and image program you're using. Sheesh you're paranoid IntoAnother. |

| Someone on ebay asked me a question about The Good Morty books I'm selling and wanted to see the Season 1 DVD box inside and out so he said that he could decide if it was a fake or not. He referred me to this forum and some other threads. Also I'm on others like CGC and whatnot but I'm not really a poster unless it comes to controversy over something like this with a book I have lol. | ||
