This is such a mess.

Apparently, BOTH grading companies have announced (although I haven't seen CGC's announcement) that this tract is the first appearance of Rick and Morty in a comic book.

Unfortunately, neither CGC nor CBCS were aware that different versions of the tract exist, so now they're scrambling to find out whether these versions reflect subsequent printings or counterfeit reproductions. Up until now, collectors have been doing all the research and analysis which ultimately pointed out the issue.

The differences between the tracts are fairly major, with variations in the number of staples and the colors used.

The market has predictably reacted to the news, yet no one is really sure what they are buying or selling.

Mistakes happen, but this one seemed entirely avoidable if due diligence had been used.

Edit*

PS - I'm unsure why a tract like this is being treated any differently than an underground comic. Undergrounds are typically not graded by the Big Two because of the ease of reproduction.

Good call.

Apparently, CGC finally changed their stance as well. Good.

This is from a facebook post by Michael Sorensen. A date was not included, so I don't know when this change occurred.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your recent submission. Upon further processing the following book(s) has been identified as not eligible for grading and encapsulation services.
Line Item 1 – The Good Morty #nn
After much research and discussion, CGC has decided that we will not grade The Good Morty "chick tract" mini comic. We are fully aware of all of the versions that exist, but are unable to confirm all versions' origin. Due to DVD's and Blu Rays packaging and inserts being manufactured all over the world, it's impossible to identify a particular version as a "fake", when in actuality if could have just been printed in a different facility.
We will, however, be allowing this book to be submitted under our Signature Series Celebrity/Sketch service for copies that have been signed and witnessed. This service does not grade the book itself, but will authenticate the signature(s), and will encapsulate the mini comic into our sketch holder for preservation.
All grading charges for this item(s) will be reversed to your account. Thank you and have a great day.

Regards,

Cynthia Ritchie
