Okay, I found it. Here’s the one that ended the other night that I was referring to. It was clearly shilled so I reached out to the seller and alerted him to the shill as it didn’t appear he was involved in this absurdly long shill. Kudos to him for having the bids removed and blocking the shills all in the last hour or so if the auctions closing time. The bids were removed and it does not appear to have any of the 1:50 shills bids in it. RICK & MORTY #1 1:50 ROILAND VARIANT ONI PRESS 2015 JUSTIN ROILAND NM https://outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed.ebay.com/outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263253841125 If they hadn’t of been shilling for so long and so consitantly I can EASILY see raw copies of this book going for around $500 on the average.

Well, one that I swore was legit the other night I can’t locate now in the completed sales. I’m going to have to dig a bit for the others because it’s a sea of shills in the completed sales. Many of which are the same exact book. It’s going to be tough as many of the sales had a shill tap out right before the last bid. For the buy it now sales I’m not sure I can verify those. I’ll see what I can come up with.

Yes, a few verified sales have taken place at the inflated prices. They have been shilling this book for months though so it’s difficult to say what the value of a raw copy should be right now. Especially since it appears they began the shill right around when the Comic Book Men and Season 3 hype began, which IMO alerted quite a few comic book collectors that the series existed, and vice versa for fans of the show who were not aware of the books which also may be a fairly large contributing factor to the extremely large price jumps across the board. I’m pretty hopeful the value will begin coming back down very soon though.

I do not believe they needed to shill that book. The majority of books I’ve seen sell that were signed by both Dan and Justin have gone for a premium, especially the #1’s.

Heads up, The three highest bidders are shills, and the real bids stopped at $510.

Yet seeing that the bids are still live I just wanted to give a heads up just in case anyone was possibly debating bidding on these books.

Who knows why they didn’t, but unfortunately some facilitators just don’t care, or are too focused on maximizing profits by speeding things along to worry about any clients requests. I didn’t take part in this signing but it’s usually made pretty clear whether or not they will window bag the books for you upon request after cracking them out. Usually for a fee, but I’m not sure if that was the case with this signing. The are still incredible covers imo. Just lame they couldn’t have done that for customers.

Having another highest bidder with 1 feedback isn’t going to help much either. Not exactly welcoming to potential competition.

That’s unfortunate, sorry man. Assuming it wasn’t a free signature I’d think bagging the book would be the least they could do, especially since you provided one.

Thank you Alex. Very informative, not at all what I wanted to hear but it’s definitely appreciated.

Nice find Kevin, I wasn’t aware that some of them had stickers. I was just referring to the initial run of the Season 1 DVD’s and Blu Rays. I didn’t intend to imply that The Good Morty had multiple printings. As far as I know that’s not the case. Yes, 250 of them were signed and stamped by Justin and Dan. I’d absolutely love to track one of them down for my PC! Here is a pic Justin posted a while back that shows the stamps...

I would have bought it as well, nice grab.

It does not come with any Rick and Morty Season 1. It was only in the first run they did a couple of years ago. So it is unlikely that any copies are sitting on a shelf in a Target at this point. Also, none of the packaging from the initial run stated that a free comic was inside.

It may be a bit too early to say due to not knowing the initial run of Season 1, but as a fan I personally see it as the Rick and Morty book to own if you value the series first appearance in comics. I know I’m personally rooting to land a 9.8 The Good Morty for my PC more than I am for the #1 1:50 Roiland variant it that says anything.

This may be similar to the ones you saw at the show... https://m.staples.com/Magna-Cart-Foldable-Hand-Truck-150-lbs-Silver-Black-109229/product_62378 Stores like Walmart and Office Depot, or even Amazon have quite a few other options as well.

I was just trying to move the discussion over here to open up the other thread. I personally saw no reason for the mods to be summoned.

4***y (4) has began the shill. Reported.
