I really, REALLY wish there was some way to do that. I've tried everything, and nothing works that doesn't take a month of Sundays. Facebook sucks.
Here's a copy/paste of the text. It's very difficult to read, but there's some interesting distribution information in there. The important facts are that just a few copies (probably 20 per store) were sent out. The stores were supposed to wait 2 weeks before putting them out, but some didn't wait. The speculators put the few that were found on eBay and were getting ~$10 each. A second shipment went out of 60 copies per store, apparently with no wait request.

Question to all, any truth to the rumor I heard, and the recorded value being posed online about the Spider-Man: Far From Home - Kellogg's Dollar General Exclusive Custom Edition going for $10 a book. Was wondering if it would be worth it to hit a few Dollar Generals,

Robin Smith Yeah, CBR has it listed, and the price value it has is $10. Which means there has to recorded sales of it somewhere at that price, based on how they figure pricing. and holy
e!!!! if ebay doesn't have recorded sales of $9-12 for it...

Roger Alan Humphrey Jr. The perceived value comes from supposed rarity. Some stores put them out as soon as they came in. They were supposed to wait two weeks...
So, some people got the books and everyone rushed to their DG stores and couldn't find them.
But now they are in all of the stores, literally, 100+ in each store

Jr Keeton Roger Alan Humphrey Jr. i wouldn't say 100+ per store. the endcap calls for 3 kellogs shippers and each shipper has 20 books in it. there will be no replenishment of them

Robin Smith But as time goes, all the stores will be out, and most stores will probably trash the extras. So the rarity will actually exist, at least in the same way rarity of NM 87 which was printed in the 90k range, and still have high value

Robin Smith I would think the stores would trash them at the end of the promotion, seeing as in some regions, probably will not go anywhere

So unless there's new information: # of DG stores X 80 copies. Subtract the copies that get trashed after the promo. = Ballpark distribution with tons of assumptions.
(but it's better than nothing).
Yeah, me too. It always sucks when this happens.
!!!!!
speculators who run out and scoop up every copy before anyone else, leaving nothing behind.
