  1. Chee… I wonder if there’s a price guide for the Overstreet Price Guide?

    There’s the limited edition Conan hardcover above, then there’s the hard and softcover Batman cover by Mark Chiarello, and the softcover Captain America cover by Darwyn Cooke.

    Nice to see that Gemstone is still in business.

  2. Torsten: for the past few years Overstreet has included listings of back editions of the price guide and their current values in the Overstreet guide itself.
