 Rating: - BUILDING A BETTER COMIC GUIDEThe Overstreet Comic Price Guide has been around so long that it's become ubiquitous in the industry. It's the default standard of most collectors. Now while Krause Publications does out their own yearly price guide, the Standard Catalog of Comics is a whole other animal.

It can be overwhelming for a novice (me) to absorb, but what fun I will have while I learn. Definitely a worthwhile investment. Rating: - Great big reference bookThis thing is a monster. It has details on nearly every comic published, through to September 2001 or so. Besides the usual pricing information, if also includes circulation info (for some titles) and CGC info (how many copies have been CGC'd, and what the highest grade is). Many titles have a short series synopsis included, with information on storylines, creators, and anything else that might be interesting about a title.
