The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide – 40 Years…and Counting!

It all started 40 years ago with a simple guide to the world of comic book collecting – the individual issues, their historical importance, and their (much smaller) values. Today, that world grew into a vast universe of comics and pop culture, those values doubled and tripled and rose into the stratosphere (Action #1 and Detective Comics #27 each recently sold for $1 million dollars!), and through it all The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide has been the recognized “bible” of the industry and the number one source for all historical and pricing information about the medium we all love.

The 40^th anniversary of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide is a significant milestone and Geppi’s EntertainmentMuseum wants to join with the rest of the industry in throwing a spotlight on the Guide and its creator, Robert M. Overstreet. In order to do that, GEM will be postponing its planned Archie Comics exhibition (look for more about that later in the year) and turning its Special Edition gallery over to a colorful chronology of the Guide and its incalculable contribution to the comic book community.

The exhibit will also feature a look at the Overstreet Hall of Fame, a growing roll call of comic book luminaries – artists, writers, editors, and other creators that have shaped the industry as well as generations of childhood adventure and imagination.

Join GEM for a one-of-a-kind opportunity to celebrate The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide – 40 Years…and Counting!
