Memory Lane Books comic shop opened in Toronto in 1967, four years before Now And Then Books.
Retailers generally don’t pay more for variants; because they have to buy more books to get the variants they pass that cost along to the consumer.
Yes, the Captain George shop in TO was definitely the 1st. Harry Kremer’s Now and Then shop in Kitchener, Ontario bridged those early days to the establishment of the Direct Market comic book shop.
Retailers will weigh what variants to get and how many to get based on what they can get for them and how many they think they can sell. Retailers do pay extra for the variants, it just comes back to them IF they sell.
