5.0 out of 5 stars Don't forget to save the old guides!, July 31, 2002
By OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" (Algoma, WI United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, July 10, 2001
The Overstreet Price Guide is, without a peer, the best annualized report that can be published for the entire sphere of comic book price indexing. Of course you're going to have the sellers who peddle their wares online and otherwise, disputing this fact, using their record-breaking "...ten times guide..." reports as their alibi, but they've got to realize that the guide is based on a broader sales arena. Not just the trendy sales, fresh after a movie and not just the eccentric purchases of a few mega-rich individuals. You'll notice the guide shows a generally upward trend on the prices of the comics throughout the years...similar to the nation's economy. If they were to bump prices up based on every outstanding report, there would be up and down prices more reflective of the stock market. For the future sake of everyone's investments in the comic book product, it is much better to have conservative growth. It may not appeal to the greedy seller, but to the average investor The Overstreet Guide is safely and effectively the best comic guide for "tout le monde". It may not be perfect, but it is The Best so far...it keeps a lid on the sales-hounds, and it allows the average Joe-collector, like myself, to at least have an overview of what to expect when going in on a purchase. With the exception of a few books (esp. those with characters appearing, or soon to appear on movies), both Sellers and buyers bend towards the guides price. This over time has proven, not to be a bad thing. ~C'est tout.

4.0 out of 5 stars All-encompassing tome for collectors, June 4, 2002
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.
