All prices will go up 5% to 10%.

Bargain bin books will still state cover price or higher.

Many keys will still be over/underpriced in the guide, not in line with present prices realized.

You do know the guide only goes up to 9.2

 

All the major disparity happens primarily from 9.4 up, so this statement is running a little out of date.

 

The guide serves a purpose, and to reflect CGC prices it does not, nor is it intended to.

[Wally's Comics]

I predict there will a monumental warehaouse

find with tons and tons of 9.4s and 9.6s of these very books

making the 9.2s pretty much cannon fodder...

Just as it's been every year.

I am willing to pay 10% guide for any of them before they are worthless

[paperheart]

prediction- everyone will scoff and then download the new prices to see how much their collection has appreciated. i'm going w/ 4% on average.

[Rodey]

GL 76 will peak. Then crash down the value of X-force 1.

 

Honestly, I'm curious to see if the Copper Age is rising. I say, 5-7% increase in major keys.

[rob_allan]

I predict with 100% accuracy that the guide will come out this year. Probably late April or early May.

[Aman619]

I agree with the overal 4-10% INCREASES IN GENERAL, BUT STICKING WITH JUST THE LIST OF 30 MARVEL KEYS I found myself going higher or lower than that based on th eparticular book. But overall, yeah, I was just adding a few hundred or thousand to each as I went along. Just like Bob!

[Shadow]

I will be curious to see the (if any) "spikes" in some of the prices.

[Warlord]

I predict that the BBOPG will not contain the Market Reports. And I won't be buying the BBOPG without them!

 

Go ahead, prove me wrong!

[bluechip]

. i'm going w/ 4% on average.

 

 

FOUR PERCENT!!

 

 

Suck on that, Wall Street!

 

 

 

Maybe Overstreet should put out a stocks and commodities guide, too. Prices updated every year, and when there's an absolute effing all-out boom like there is now in comics, your stocks will go up in the guide FOUR PERCENT.*

 

 

 

 

Wooo Hooooooooo!

 

 

 

*Assuming, of course, you don't buy your stocks "retail" and sell 'em "wholesale"

I am not a big fan of Overstreet and his valuation methods, however your constant criticism/scarcasm regarding Overstreet and the way they price the comics in the guide is getting a tad old. If you don't like how they price comics in their guide, don't buy it.

I think everyone here agrees that OS is a great resource, but as "the price guide" it hasn't quite caught up with the times, those times being Internet-speed information gathering and communications capacities.

 

If OS had a willingness to:

 

1. raise prices dramatically when necessary (like for Daredevil 131);

2. lower prices dramatically when necessary (like Green Lantern 59),

and 3. Reflect that many comics have nominal value,

 

those changes would give the book a lot more credibility.

 

It's OS's credibility we're really going after, not its value as a resource.

 

But if you really like OS as it is, I have a box or two of moder books I'll sell you at half-guide. Free shipping!

[CommandD]

I predict all books in my colleection will go down by 5% and all books I need to fill holes in my runs will go up by 5%.

Prices updated every year, and when there's an absolute effing all-out boom like there is now in comics...

 

That's one that's passed me by...

 

If by 'an absolute effing all-out boom', you mean 'loads and loads of book in 9.2 or below not even reaching their 2003 prices', well...

[Flaming_Telepath]

OK, every year for at least the last ten, I’ve heard the same old gripes regarding how ‘out of touch’ OS price rises are. Same story every year.

 

Now, if that were actually the case, the situation would have been compounded over the last ten years, yes? If OS gives a 5% rise annually, but the market is actually showing a 20% rise, the compounded differentials would by now be quite staggering, yes? Wouldn't we’d have, let’s say, an FF #30 in 9.0 Guiding at $275, but actually selling for…oh, I don’t know…three trillion dollars?

 

Astoundingly, though, whilst Guide says $275 in this example, GPA says $246.

 

Now, how the hell could that have happened…
