Is the new Overstreet out yet??

[MrBedrock]

I would love to find out if the authors of articles in the Overstreet Price Guide get paid.

My belief is that the articles are submissions from fans.

Isn't Troy McLure a character from the Simpsons? A reporter?

His name is Jon. Andy was trying to be funny.

trying....

[Chespirito]

I don't know but..I thought it was pretty funny..I immediately thought about the episode when he married one of Marge's sisters...

And people think *I* am condescending and dismissive.

 

An example of an error.

 

On my part, or his..?

[ShieldAgent]

you think the research needs revision because it dose not align with what you currently believe.

 

Why do you want your common foreign editions to be variants so badly?

 

Why do you ignore my definition of price variant? Is it because you cannot apply it to Canadian editions?

 

Perhaps I am still missing something here?

 

 

Just stop with the price variant . I haven't once, talked about price variants (until now). Read what I said about why a revision is needed, don't put words into my mouth. I've already seen this Avengers comic in at least 3 threads, being talked about as a price variant and no one can come to any agreement on it. If there is any personal motivation in seeing revision to clear this up, it has everything to do with getting it right. And apparently, you have a problem with missing the point as I've already defined a foreign edition in a half dozen responses in this thread alone.

You win. Enjoy all your variants.

Well...I guess that's probably true. I assumed, since, ta know, in REAL publishing, people get paid for articles they write, even if it's freelance.

 

But it IS comics, so...

Just so everybody knows, I'm still buying Canadian price variants by the barrel full. I'd prefer the 95 cent ones at this point. I'd love to get some Canadian price variants that have errors as well.

I have a Canadian price variant $3.78 Silver Surfer #50 with foil only adhering to Surfie's eyes, biceps, and nipples, and mistakenly assembled with Batman #2 interior pages, that are all siamese.

 

How much will you give me for it...?

If a small cross section of comics have a significant but uniform difference from the majority of the print run it's a variant.

 

Of course it is. The small minority has a variation from the majority, so hence it is a variant. Semantic arguments are usually more fun than this.

 

The semantics don't matter, but the categorization does. Collectors will place different degrees of "significance" and "scarcity" and "kewlness" to the varieties of printings. This is what influences collectibility and value, and not the semantics of what each variety is called.

 

Sounds like the Overstreet hype machine worked hard to ascribe significance to the new guide in an attempt to reverse slumping sales and declining relevance.

We get one sent to us - last year mine came one day before the rest of the world saw it. I'm sure other people get theirs earlier and have more input into the document. Me, I'm just a lowly monkey.

That is still how I feel when I get mine. I know, I'm old.
