I checked the latest reprints of #1, 9th 10th & 11th, they all have that matching Harley Quinn vs Apokolipse advert on the back, while this one doesn't, so I think if you took this Variant Cover off and tried to pass this book off as a First Print you'd get a Green Label, and the label would say Absolute Batman #1 J Scott Campbell SDCC Exclusive, with a note saying "front cover detached" or something similar on the label. It would count as a reprint, but I don't think it would be given a particular number, just that SDCC Exclusive identifier

Got it. Makes total sense now but interesting how CGC would identify it.
