Interesting because it reminds me of that silly Rick and Morty Szechuan sauce photo ebay auction that's been popping up - already littered with that same problem. The actual highly-likely-to-be-Dan-Harmon auction was 100% sale for Habitat for Humanity, but it keeps getting taken down while everybody else is posting near-identical eBay listings (with the same copy and similar seller names) with several of them having anywhere from zero to 15 percent going to charity as a way to mask the issue (because who wants to take away from charity right). New lows and all...

Why are the Greedos selling for so much? Are those prices real?

Did Mitchell number some birds differently? All the birds I have are numbered around the end his signature and certainly not that large.
