New Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide Should Earn High Marks
Comic book collectors will receive a very special
holiday gift from the hobby's top authority when Gemstone Publishing presents
The Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide-New Edition (SEP022138,
$24.00).
When the first Grading Guide was published in 1992, it sold 60,000 copies and created a sensation among collectors by offering them a comprehensive guide to grading and understanding the value of comic books. It has since become a vital companion reference to the annual Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide for new and veteran comics enthusiasts, all of whom should find this updated volume to be equally useful and informative.
Written by Gemstone Publisher Robert M. Overstreet and Editor Arnold T. Blumberg, the new edition will address many of the issues in grading that have evolved over the years. All aspects of grading comics will be spotlighted in the highly detailed softcover (which will outline for readers the new 10-Point Grading System). Of particular interest will be the wealth of illustrations that will help collectors spot and classify various types of defects in books of all conditions with confidence.
Please Note: The Overstreet Comic Book Grading Guide-New Edition is solicited in the September Previews to ship in December.
