I pick up the CBG Checklist every year, and this year's edition is a real disappointment. None of the prices seem to have been updated at all, and neither have the issue counts - there are very few issues listed from 2008 at all, and most of the long running titles only have listings up to March of 2007. Many of the key series from 2008 aren't listed either (Countdown, World War Hulk, etc... Even Civil War only goes up to issue #6). If you're looking to price out your recent variants, there haven't been any updates on these either. If you're just looking for prices for your older comics, you might as well pick up the 2008 checklist for cheaper, as the 2009 edition has next to nothing new in it at all. It must have been either rushed to press or just lazily cut-and-pasted together from the last edition (to prove this, some of the same typos and misinformed data are exactly the same in this edition as in the last). I may still buy the CBG Checklist next year, but I won't pre-order it ever again - I'll want to check to make sure that the 2010 edition has at least some issues from 2008/2009 in it (and that the editors haven't just slacked off) before I buy it.

I love this book, it's got all the books listed from 1961, has check boxes to inventory the ones you have or need. Gives you a guideline for what your comic books are worth today.
