Overstreet monthly

[Hensley300]

Not sure if there is a thread about this overly expensive price guide or not but is it just me or does this seem like a lot of [!@#%^&^]?

For example, there is a price list which lists a hypothetical wolverine 145 nabisco variant 9.8 as $400 in 9.8. I remember the actual 9.8selling for $900 to the guy that bought the hulk 181 9.8 for 20k. Whether some of you agree with this kind of buying or not isnt the point of this thread. The point is even if you are printing cgc graded prices, wouldnt you get actual prices correct for $6.50 every month. What other prices are wrong. If you pay more, though pegged as an investment insufficiently_thoughtful_person for anyother reasons but personal pleasure on this forum, where is the line? How can one use this guide as a tool? Look at the ?hypotheitical price? of the batman rrp variant in 9.8? Tell me someone wont be willing to pay a lot more if the buy it now is used in a semi=modern-overexposure kind of way. We all know what kind of ludicricy?Spelling? goes on the speculative modern comic collecting market. I myself have paid a lot for books simply for cover/pleasure not investment but would like to know what you guys think of this monthly 6.50 overpriced investment tool: Shame? I think, useful? Why not just subscribe to CBG. its done a lot of good for me!!!

After the debacle of the first issue, I gave them to issue 3 before I will pass judgement as to if I will support it or not.

Yea, thats a valid response, but for $6.50 an issue for as little as you get investment data wise? Which isn't that the type of subscriber they are targeting? CBG seems to outweight them but far plus you get articles and actual ebay sale results not averages? im guessing they are averages?

I think everyone knows how I feel about this topic.

 

(I haven't gotten my second issue yet - they may have nixed my subscription after last month's tirade.)

it was disgraceful that at even, what 12 pages?? They STILL had to use full page charts that were 90% white space to fill it up!! A big disappointment

I've posted about this before as well....

 

The price charged for the product is horribly out of line. Add some market reports, a few more market news articles, and flesh out the price section. A letters section might be a good idea as well.

 

Why can't the old late 80s updates serve as a template for this update??

i was excited to see this, but now it sounds like a rip off! I liked the length of the old overstreet update market reports & i hoped it would be like that. How the F can the charge so much for so little?
