CGC Now Grading Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #1

Posted on 2/22/2024

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide has been a popular resource since 1970. Now collectors can have issue #1 certified and encapsulated by CGC.

Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is extending its renowned grading expertise to the debut issue of the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. This development not only underscores the growing importance of its preservation within the comic book collecting community, but also signifies a major shift in how collectors interact with and perceive this iconic publication.

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide is a comprehensive reference revered among collectors and enthusiasts in the world of comic books. First published in 1970 by Robert M. Overstreet, the guide provides detailed pricing information for comic books from various eras, publishers and genres. It has since become the go-to resource for assessing the value of comic books, offering insights into market trends, rarity and condition grading.

Acclaimed for its meticulous research and extensive data, the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide is updated annually to reflect the evolving landscape of the comic book market. Beyond price listings, it also contains articles, analyses and interviews, making it a valuable source of information for both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.

CGC has graded only a few copies of the guide in the past, but discontinued the service because its size was not ideal for the standard magazine holder that was offered at the time. However, CGC has recently developed a new, larger holder for pulps that can also securely hold the debut issue of the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide.
