When do we get hints of changes to this year's book? The 9.2 thing last year was huge.

 

Love the IM cover!

[ArnoldTBlumberg]

I *did* drop a few hints in other threads, from some sly intimations about the way the final pricing column would function in this edition to something like this:

 

Age

Victorian Age

Platinum Age

 

But that's about it, no other juicy tidbits right now.

It's like dangling a piece of candy infront of a child and then pulling it away at the last second.

"while checking what my collection is now worth"

 

in comic monopoly money, right?

I just got an OS 2004 guide. It's my first. Wish me luck and I hope I really do learn some things from it.

 

The Guide is the most essential tool of the collector. Other than the San Diego Con, its release is probably the single biggest annual comic "event".

 

You will learn much, young Skywalker.

 

And, as Dice said, the ads are "opportunities". I found out about Bob Storms site in the Guide. And many of my nicest books have come from Bob.

 

Enjoy it!

The 1972 OS SC guide is worth $650? Shoot, I just learned something in less than 2 minutes. I had no idea they increased in value as well.

 

Where did you get that figure from the guide? Oh no did I just open another can worms a la the pressing issue. Conflict of interest!

I know, but I like 'em.

 

Probably change them tomorrow when I go to work.

It's all that Victorian stuff that makes it so dang heavy!

Because they are doing so well at the moment? They'll get a dose of reality when they play a real team on the road!

Sadly, I have to agree. They haven't played well all year, and the ACC is just way too stacked. Wake and your boys are so strong, and Tech has basically the same team that played in the title game. Duke is Duke. And with Julius Hodge playing in what has to be his 10th season, NC State is pretty good too.

 

Plus, we lost Strawberry for the season earlier this week. He was our best defender.

Age

Victorian Age

Platinum Age

 

I hope there are highlights of interest to the other 98% of collectors who could give a whit about Platinum and older...

I flipped through the 2004 guide last night. Honestly, I'm not overly impressed. I didn't really learn anything that I didn't already know from other sources. The section on comic collecting, grading, and preservation, I had read somewhere else. I believe Heritage Comics posts the exact same information on their website. Other than that, the Price Guide was fairly similar to www.comicspriceguide.com. So really, the OS Guide did not help me out any more than web sites already were

 

Plus, too many annoying "opportunities."

The Overstreet is the Official (no pun intended) price Guide. Other sources may list prices for all books too. And some of their numbers may in fact be closer to true market prices. BUT - - the Overstreet is the Greenwich Mean Time price. All other Guides are variations on its theme. You dont have to set your watch to it, but its important enough to refer to IT's price as an historical record going back 35 years now.
