I have been a comic book collector for over 50 years. During that time I've looked at every price guide ever published. While I get an occasional insight from other sources, I consistently find that the Overstreet annual guides are by far the best source. I also find that collectors of all ages and sophistications rely on this guide so it tells me what the market will be for comics I might want to buy or sell.

Some people feel like they don't need to buy these every year. I disagree!

Even the advertisements are valuable . . . I've found many helpful, low-cost suppliers through these pages over the years.

I especially enjoyed the updated versions of articles about much older comics in this edition. Don't miss them.

And I rarely even look at the prices. This is THE reference book for what was published, when, the actual title, which issues feature notable artists, guest appearances, first appearances, origins, major events like weddings and deaths, etc. If you collect comics you need this.

A must have for serious comic book collectors. Whether you collect as a hobby or for investment, this is the major authority on comic prices. Overstreet sets a guide line for you to go by when purchasing and selling comic books. I've been a collector for 40 years. Could'nt do without my Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide!

This is my first time buying the Overstreet...It's great because the authors realize what a changing investment comics are. 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. 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. A lot of dealer's/collector's/auctioneer's opinions in the year in review...soooo many lists...it's awesome!! 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!!!

there is many information that you can use and know other sites that you didn't know before, so you can check prices and where to buy the best bargain.
paper is also great. glossy.

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!

I have bought the Overstreet Comic Book Guide 3 times now. 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 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. 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. I always find myself flipping through it or looking up a specific title. I highly recommend this book.

CGC is great but this is the "bible" for the industry. Long live the King!
