I'm surprised you of all people didn't notice the most egregious snub.  How is Startling 49 not on that list???

Ah my data collection was faulty cause I was just using a list of past sales. 

And NO ONE sells Starting 49! Especially not in high grade!

Fantastic Comics 3 is another book noticeably missing.

[Sauce Dog]

Chamber of Chills #23 needs to on that list for next time, i'm sure once a few high grade copies go back up for sale it will get noticed (we've only seen mid-grade stuff for sale recently selling for $3-4k, when it was selling for only a few hundred bucks at most a few years ago)

Same problem, I was going by sales data, and that book NEVER SELLS!

I agree on these two books. Though to me their covers have always felt more like "robot" covers than "sci-fi" covers.

Maybe Overstreet should launch a Top 10 Robot Comics list. 

Or not.

[Ricksneatstuff]

If we are going based on covers Daring Mystery 1 should be a top 10 sci-fi

Meanwhile the Planet values barely twitched in the new Guide. I guess they must be pretty dead, right?

Those prices should be outta this world.  Unfortunately, the run of high grade Planets sold awhile back may have had the unintended effect of depressing the market.  That’s my best guess.

One man's 'mean reversion', is another man's 'negatively divergent higher'.

Simply put, the market will recover and go higher.

First of all, that’s funny.

Second of all, I guess you and Cat are saying that a large portion of the Planet collectors shot their wad chasing the Church copies, creating a momentary vacuum in the Planet chase. But once coffers get built back up again, the Planet market will return to its old levels of madness.

I ended up with the Church 58, and have failed to notice any drop off in the bidding frenzy

Not sure we’re watching the same game, or if you're being sarcastic, it’s sometimes hard tell with you hah... actual real prices for Planet comics in all grades have shot skyward since the Church auction.

That high profile auction clearly brought new people into the market.  The OSPG  clearly missed this, giving everything in the run only  a tiny bump to keep up with inflation.

I suspect news of the Planet Church sale arrived too late for inclusion. Planet is one of hundreds of titles for them to be concerned about.

When are dealer reports due in to Overstreer?

Probably, but there’s a prior upward trajectory for the past 3-4 years on Planets that has been ignored by OSPG as well.

Sarcasm is an art not always appreciated.  You’re right of course that Planet interest has surged recently and seems to have brought new players to the market.  That said, mid-range non-pedigree Planets haven’t climbed as aggressively as the Church run since the auction, perhaps because Fiction House books are notorious for color fading and appearance is critical for this very art-centric “babes & blasters” series of books.  

OSG tends to reflect a more conservative, longer term perspective of the market.  It will take another year or so to see whether Planet values are flat or stabilize and long term interest can be maintained.  If there is “a rising tide” and higher price points are sustainable then your point has been made.

I have to think, so we really want the guide to be accurate? I get the books you love getting a bump, but no hope of an an underguide buy? Historically , whenever guide has caught up, issues tanked, no more “deals” means Depreciation.

I remember when Cheetah bough the Denver Planet #1 (9.4).  I drooled over it as it sat on I think Metro's site? I don't think the GPA sale is when he bought it but maybe so.  I think he sold here when he liquidated but again I am unsure on that.  Looking back, it was such a bargain but hindsight is 20/20.
