The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide- Edition -35 (Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Gu Description:
The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, Edition #35 (Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide) review: 2 stars (Information Too Difficult to Find and Too Small Print to Read) - This book contains a lot of information, however some of it is too difficult to locate and the print is so small that you have to use a magnafying glass to read it!! I have used it twice and threw it in a drawer. I would not recommend this book!!! 5 stars (The Comic Book collector's Bible!) - The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide is considered by many
as the bible, when it comes to collecting, grading and
pricing comic books. Robert M. Overstreet began the concept
in 1970 as a guide for fellow fans of Golden Age era
comics. The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide has since
expanded to cover the entire history of comics'
publications. It has grown to encompass a broader range of
information than later competitors such as the Comics
Buyer's Guide or ComicBase.
Although many price guides come and go, this long-standing
publication (which has been running for over 35 years) has
become one of the inextricable elements of comic collection
history. The Overstreet guide is a premier resource for
collectors and enthusiasts seeking information on anything
comic book related. It offers comic book collectors one of
the best pricing resources available.
Using the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, I checked out
one of my magazines. Depending on what grade or physical
condition I use, "The Amazing Spider-man", issue #252, is
worth $24 to $32 dollars. Not bad for having paid about a
quarter for it. I wouldn't have known this without the
guide. As I get my collection cataloged and using the guide
to estimate worth, I imagine my new collection will show a
value of a substantial amount more than my 50-dollar
investment.
One drawback I have discovered with my guide, is the
extensive nature of all the information. It takes some time
to browse through and get used to how to use it. But it has
become an invaluable tool as I continue to build by comic
book website "www.comic-book-collection-made-easy.com". In
building this website, I have gained enough information and
knowledge to make a reasonable, rational evaluation of this
much-needed guide.
5 stars (Precise) - The guide was informative and up to date again. I would recommend this book to any comic collector.
