Here is a video I made about the difference in the Bluray case that made me identify my copy as fake. There are two production differences between the bootleg and the genuine comic. I am still trying to get concrete information on these before telling people about them. |

Quote:Originally Posted by robertofredrico it is real because i bought it 8 months ago off amazon brand new, opened the shrink wrap and everything myself brah and it's a dvd of season 1. the dvd is silver and does not appear to be a reproduction or copy. the images on the discs are bold and crisp, do not look blurry or faded with lighter shade or tone of colors either. *shrugs* |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer If I really, truly knew what the market would value comics at six months into the future, I'd be rich Your opinion might prove to be right. I'm just going on past history. Where other first appearances in the "not really comic book format" have value have not negatively affected the value of the comic book that was previously regarded as the first appearance. And let me be clear as to what I said and meant. I did not say this "Good Morty" mini comic would not be worth good $$ nor surpass the value of Rick and Morty 1. I said/meant to say that I don't believe that the value of Rick and Morty 1 will go down because of this newly acknowledged first appearance. Collectors are unlikely to dump RAM 1 to purchase Good Morty. Instead they are likely to add Good Morty to their "must have a copy" (wish) list. |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke In the pictures you posted your copy does look genuine. I could be wrong. HOWEVER All the bootleg copies that I have discovered and spoken to other collectors about WERE shrink wrapped. Which means someone mass produced these. DVDS are easier to reproduce and pirate than blurays so I would assume the same thing has been done with the DVDs. I purchased my copy the day the news came out which means the bootleg copies were on the market before anyone realized the comic collecting fandom of the Good Morty comic. Also - the copy that started this entire conversation on the Google + community CBSI also turned out to be fake, which means the fakes have been on the market for what I would assume is a fairly long time. |

So so far the only way to tell is with booklets that come packaged with the discs? Are there telltale differences in the books themselves? |

Seems odd that someone would go to the trouble and expense of bootlegging printed booklets... | ||

So I picked up a copy of the DVD from my local Walmart last night. It was the only copy on the shelf. I have not opened it yet, but what are the chances of a booklet being in there? I'd prefer not to waste the $20 since there are no returns on DVDs after opening. | ||

I know that the copy I have is 100% authentic and original. I purchased the season 1 DVDs the week they were released. In light of all this fakery I would advise anyone searching for a copy not to buy off eBay. Realistically, the % of fakes being sold right now is probably ridiculously high. Don't get burned in pursuit of this Grail. | ||

@Darkga I'd say return it and save your money. Or open it and enjoy your DVDs. | ||

I suppose it's possible that the bootleggers got a hold of legitimate Good Morty extras to "legitimize" their bootlegs. Bootlegging DVDs isn't too hard...but printing books is substantially more difficult, and requires equipment (to do it correctly) that most people don't have access to. |

I can't say for sure, but I'm starting to think that the 2 staple versions maybe in fact all be fakes... | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkga Exactly what happened to me. Only one copy at the WalMart (actually, only one copy in my whole town). Naturally I bought it, and naturally no "prize" in it. If you have no desire to own the DVD for viewing purposes, I suggest just returning it and buy something you know is good with your $20.00 |

@jimmylinguini hilarious video man, well done. I wonder if any books made it through grading before the news that some are fake broke?? What a mess |

Quote:Originally Posted by jimmylinguini I bought it 8 months ago from a seller on amazon. So no, I did not buy it the week of release. This does not appear to be a copy. I can take photos of the dvds and case for comparison. I am now starting to wonder myself at this point. But my point is, if something I bought 8 months ago is not likely to be a fake when this news come out this week, though....right? |
