I may have touched off a firestorm of controversy over what I thought was an innocent question along with, admittedly, my overreaction to two boardies responses. I won't go into the latter... it's best to forgive and forget and just move on.

But going back to the journal... I obviously failed miserably to get a point across. What I really wanted to ascertain from the responses of my fellow collectors, was whether or not, like me, they were unhappy or dissatisfied or found things lacking with the current methods to determine valuations on both raw/ungraded and graded comics at 9.4 and above.

Using GPA and watching the moving trends based on sales figures can be a very useful tool at times... however, I feel many of us rely on it a little too much. And I have seen some sales from auction houses not registered as sales on GPA. So the data can be incomplete at times. I actually bought a CGC graded book from an auction site, and that sale never registered on GPA. I also was bidding on a comic, which I eventually lost, but for some reason, the final sale of that comic also didn't register on GPA. GPA analytics also doesn't take into account, private sales.

Anyway... putting aside math formulas, crystal balls, and all the guessing game formulas many of us incorporate, I am just going to ask two questions:

"Would you like to see the Overstreet Price Guide future publications include price valuations of 9.4 -- 10.0 raws/ungraded?"

-AND-

"Would you like to see Overstreet publish a yearly guide solely dedicated for CGC Third Party Graded Comics?"

Just curious what people think.

Anyway... peace to you all!

Thanks for reading and Happy Collecting!
