50th annual Overstreet - What does he get right? What does he get wrong? 3 3

Overstreet PRICE MISS-GUIDE. 

Anyone that seeks to defend Overstreet and it's

COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY 

pricing with the thought that it is only a guide is delusional.   Overstreet is actually more of a MISS-guide than it is a guide. 

Until or unless Overstreet experiences a serious overhaul the word guide is a misnomer and the book is basically useless although for some it may still hold value as entertainment.

If you're a nonagenarian Granny selling off your late husband's original owner collection along with his stamps and old matchbooks, you are very likely to think the prices are correct because they come from a very proper looking book of long standing.  You might even agree, if a buyer tells you that standard "wholesale" prices are half of "retail" and that the word "Good" in "Good condition" means the same thing it does in the rest of the world, so that all she will expect the nice young man to pay her for the departed hubby;s old but nice looking Action 1 is half of the "Good" price in that authoritative looking guide book...
