twmjr1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I still absolutely love looking at each new edition of the OCBPG, even though it's miles from accurate and always has been/will be. What SA books should we expect to have made big moves in this year's edition? Larryw7, bronze johnny and Knightsofold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I didn't get last years edition, so not sure what the bump was last July...but, I'd have to think FF52 should see a pretty good increase (even if it was bumped last year as well). Maybe FF5. That one had some good upswing in the past year. Detective 359 picked up some heat last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Good thing Overstreet likes to just add 5% to 10% slow and steady growth to comics like FF # 45 1st Inhumans which spiked and then faltered due to lame Inhumans on the dark side of Hawaii tv series. Perhaps FF # 52 Black Panther and BA HoS #92 will jump a lofty 10% as market reported to Dec, 2017 for Overstreet Price Guide being released in July, 2018. zosocane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can can get the electronic version from Heritage (www.ha.com). The Heritage website sells it pretty much as soon as it comes out in physical form. (I always get both versions - simply love this book! And I use both versions a lot.) SECollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgross.com Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 although it seems like a legit question, you have to realize that everything in there was written around 6 months ago. so it's even less accurate than you might already think. if it were current, it would say that JIM83, TOS39, ASM1, XMEN1 and FF1 have all made strong gains over this past year, at least in most grades. BA books hulk181 has also exploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Cichlid Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The 6.0 column is really what my budget allows, so that is what I focus on. All of these go for way higher than what was listed in the 47th edition: It has ASM 13 at $423.00, (101, 194, and 300 are way off as well). It has X-Men 12 6.0 at $162.00 ?!? I'd take that in a heart beat! #14 isn't no $93.00 either. (They should increase the 266 as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTLarsen Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hawkman 4, Brave and Bold 60, and Doom Patrol 99 should see big bumps. HOS 92, too, though that’s really bronze. Strange Tales 135 eternally undervalued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rather surprised that they have been jacking up the prices the past 2 years for some of the HTF books by a much bigger percentage in the lower grades than they have in the higher grades. Looks like Overstreet is on the right path for these HTF books that fetches huge dollars in low grades and even in entry level grades as they simply never show up in the marketplace in anything close to high grade.

These market reports used to be probably my favorite part of the guide back in the day and the summary report by Overstreet used to be the first thing I turned to. Definitely not so much anymore as I finally managed to trudge my way through to the last report from the boys at Metro just last week. Figured I better finished them before this year's edition of the guide comes out in about 10 days from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are quite useless and not even because they are six months old. Lots of them are very brief and say very little. I also question the inclusion of some of the more recent advisor additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I get the Big! Big! guide. Besides the larger print, the content is all guide, no ads or editorials. Yes, unfortunately, for this day and age of instant gratification, the Overstreet is outdated before it's even printed. The only thing I know of that is even more stale is the CGC Registry points ! Still, you gotta love the Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somehow, this one just doesn't do it for me as it just seems a bit too simplistic. I would have much prefer one by Ron Lim in the same classic Thanos style like Silver Surfer 44 or even SS 34 (although less so for the SS 34). Surprisingly, I took the Hero Initiative Edition copy last year with the Deadpool cover by Liefeld since the cover artwork reminded me a bit of Gulacy's artwork on Master of Kung Fu which I really loved.

Well, I guess today's the day you are going to find out the answer to your question here. From Overstreet's Top 50 SA books, it looks like the answer for last year was Action 242 and Tales to Astonish 13, both with a 43% increase. And it looks like the SA winner from the year before that was Brave and Bold 25 with a 40% valuation increase at top of guide. Almost time to open up the envelope.
