I needed a recent comic pricing guide to evaluate a large collection. The previous source I had was a 2004 Comic Book Companion, which does not provide pricing for all value grades. The only bad thing was the 39th edition was announced the day after I ordered, but I needed one right away.You cannot go wrong with the OFFICIAL Overstreet guide. There is no substitute.
The book guide is very useful, especially because it shows the illustrations of the covers and indicates years and values for each comic.
This is THE comic book price guide to own. You've got different experts on comic collecting giving their opinion about collecting comics and also a complete comic book price guide for just about every comic you can think of. Excellent resource.
There's a million adds for everything comic related you could ask for, a list of stores around the country (and few around the world), web-sites. This is my first time buying the Overstreet.It's great because the authors realize what a changing investment comics are. A lot of dealer's/collector's/auctioneer's opinions in the year in review.soooo many lists.it's awesome. So they tell you, 'this isn't the end all guide' but it's the most respected/encompassing guide you'll find. Besides EVERY type of comic, big little books, promotional, victorian age, gold, siver, etc, they also give you a grading scale from.5 - 10 that breaks down what to look for in a fair and balanced grade of a comic. If you love comics, loved them and forgot how great they are and are getting back into collection.BUY THIS. you can't go wrong with buying it every year just to see trends and read some great stories of collections past.Thanks Overstreet.
I like the informative Market Reports by the advisors and have broadened my reading of different genres because of it - right now, bronze age DC horror and westerns. I have bought the Overstreet Comic Book Guide 3 times now. The color pictures are always fun to look at, and the price guide is essential especially if you are buying back issues on ebay or at your local comic book shop. The 13th Edition 1982, 35th Edition 2005 and the 38th Edition 2008. I seem to buy one whenever my interest in collecting comic books picks up. I always find myself flipping through it or looking up a specific title. I highly recommend this book.
