It goes without saying that Overstreet is the best of the reference guides for pricing comics. Perhaps I have too much time on my hands, but it is also good for a little browsing in your spare time with its articles, cover reproductions, and odd facts. I would also say that it is completely comprehensive, except that I noticed that the 1967 copy of Captain Johner and the Aliens published by Gold Key seems to be missing from some editions....

One important thing to keep in mind is that the guides themselves become collectibles. I always used to discard my old "obsolete" copy when I got a more recent one- now I see that some of the older editions that I threw out are worth big bucks. ARRRRRGH!

4.0 out of 5 stars All-encompassing tome for collectors, June 3, 2002

This review is from: The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, 32nd Edition (Paperback)

This book is the definitive source for comic book prices for the hobbyist to the professional dealer. You will be able to find a price for every comic in your collection, from the Platinum Age (1900-1938) on up through the Modern Age (1980 to present).

My only wish is that Overstreet would present more examples (photos especially) of what to look for when grading a comic. That would go a long way in helping collectors accurately grade their comics.

This review is from: The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, 32nd Edition (Paperback)

I've had an interest in comics for quite a while now and decided to find out the value on my own comic books. Not only has this book given me the guide value of these comics it has allowed me to find new comic series to buy as well.

The book gives you market values for all comic books so that when you go to purchase comics to add to your collection you will not be [cheated]! After browsing through this book you will find out which comics can become real investments.

I highly recommend this book and will continue to buy each new addition as it becomes available.
