Doesn't Overstreet use sales prices from dealers across the country? I love when dealers use Overstreet to price books. haha so do I. Anytime someone reaches for Overstreet to price a gold age book I'm stoked because I'm about to get a deal, and it rarely happens. It's usually multiples of guide and if I'm at a con, a multiple of gpa that is already a multiple of guide. shortboxed and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGC makes all the rest of this look like amateur hour. I was going to say, if anything I could see CCG acquiring PSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a reach for them that will only damage the comic market.Thank goodness Overstreet keeps it real... Yeah, Overstreet definitely hasn't been manipulating the comic market for decades.

I don't know as I was a kid back then,maybe veterans can chime in? That was before the internet came along...It was the great equalizer..It did used to be super hard to get any EC books...Disney Barks were easy to find even before ebay but always listed in Overstreet as overpriced and hard to sell at half of guide to collectors.

MisterX Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Huh...I saw the thread title and thought this was going to be about something a little more theatrical. So, are these guys going to be the new graders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to be the upstart, you should only hire people with spotless reputations, people completely beyond reproach. Unfortunately, that cancels out a good 50% of the people in the comics business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very sad. We had one heck of a community for over a decade and now this place is just kind of, different. I miss when this place was really about collecting. ___, thirdgreenham and Bomber-Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
