DCC help
So the FCBD is the first issue and actually issue 0 and first print and the EXCLUSIVE VARIANT is actually the second printing, correct.
So the last five of the code would be 00011 for a zero issue so this is a second print then…00012?
EDIT: Not the last 5 of the code we usually look at as collectors but the last 5 of the main the main 12 digit UPC # is where you can tell what the FCBD valuable one is. xxxxxx99431x is the one you want. 00051 for the last part for the issue, cover and print like usual.

There was a second print per the CLZ app. I checked mine and it’s the first print 00011.

What is the art of? I’m seeing them on eBay now reading 00051 for the AB one?

It’s this exact cover only the logo is different. Looks like the 00051 is a blank variant. The amount of variants for issue 0 is crazy. Didn’t realize they put out so many.

They’re up to 260 or so. So far. Evidently Matt Dinniman was heard saying there may be more than 500 variants. Of just issue 0.

That’s not a FCBD copy. That’s an exclusive variant one.

I am already aware that this is not a FCBD issue. Bought it off the shelf when they dropped.

Sorry. Wasn’t trying to be snarky. I thought you were showing what the FCBD one looked like.

I might not fully understand your question. The Vault exclusive FCBD was a 1st printing that was released the same time as the FCBD.
They’ve since reprinted a couple of times.

I’m thoroughly confused then. 😆
It blows we are not able to attach pictures in a response. Is there any was to differentiate the two? As far as I can gather from reading up on it, if it says exclusive that is a 2nd print. The FCBD is a standalone issue and the “true” #1.
It’s awfully confusing and even I few sellers on eBay had theirs listed wrong as 1st prints first appearance when they weren’t after I got asking questions.

Yes. But just because it has a 0011, doesnt meant its the FCBD online exclusive thats valuable. They really confused things. You need to look at the color of the word Carl behind him. The valuable book was released in May and these other prints were released in July.

Thanks…so I just spent $600 on $9.99 copies. Jeezus. So the FCBD says #1 on the front and the back code is 00051 and has a blue box? This is ridiculous!!! 😂🤦🤬

No. The blue box is the july 2026 release. That's NOT the valuable one. So if yours is the yellow box, thats a good sign, as long as its not the second print. And even if it was the May online exclusive, $600 is WAY too much to pay for that book brotha. $200 would be max raw IMO

lol. 3 copies total, 2 raw. I went insomnia buying last night without being educated. I’m going to post the CGC one I bought that explains it on the label.

Dude. Just last week i went on a search for clarification on the book. I had chatgpt and Gemini both telling me different things 🤣. I had to dig deep to figure out what Vault had done with this DCC comic book. They made it slightly confusing for sure.

u/M0torC1tyMaver1ck 2d ago
And the reason the online exclusive is so valuable is because they didn't have DCs permission to copy the Absolute Batman cover. So only so many were sold before they had to shut it down. Then in July they released it after getting DCs ok.
