The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, 30e

Rating:
Summary: Is the standard for comic book values
Review: This is the most accurate guide on the market. I have been collecting comics for decades and the overstreet guide is a must have for any serious collector. Does not inflate value of new books like some other guides.

Summary: Best of its type but don't buy the hype.
Review: This really is the best book published of its type but this is partly because Mr. Overstreet controlled a large part of the market for some time. Many of the books listed may have inflated prices owing to Overstreet's vested interest in the value of a particular title in some particular condition. In general, only Mint condition comic book values are accurate. In nearly every other case, values are slightly to greatly inflated. Many books, such as Amazing Fantasy # 15, exist in such great numbers that they are held artificially high by the impression of scarcity implied by this book and fostered by those who own copies of that title. On the positive side, this is the single most complete guide of comic book values and it is the only book one needs in order to fare well in the used comic book market.
