The Price Guide is in! The Price Guide is in!

Receiving my copy of this book is always a good day. The book has real (not articificially inflated) prices of actively-traded comics, as well as credible insights into the marketplace and readable interviews with industry pros. I highly recommend it. The Perfessor

I may buy this because I collect comics and I need to know how much they are worth

A Price Guide for the Rest of Us!

Now this is what I call a Price Guide. One that takes a realist look at what comicbooks are truly sellling for in today's marketplace.I also recommend Malloy's American Games: Comprehensive Collector's Guide, and Robert J. Sodaro's Kiddie Meal Collectibles (on which Malloy is a contributor).

The Best Comicbook Price List on the Market

If you are looking for realistic, buying and/selling prices on your comicbook collection (or on comics you are wishing to purchase), then this is the price guide for you. Malloy has a solid handle on the pricing structure of the industry, and his prices are very much in line with what is going on in the marketplace. Rather than pricing comics as what he wishes they were priced, Malloy goes the extra mile to learn what they are being priced at across the country. Also, you might want to check out his board game prices in American Games: Comprehensive Collector's Guide, or his fast food toy prices in Kiddie Meal Collectibles.

Good alternative to Overstreet

The only guide that has the guts to list Underground comix in detail. This guide also has an easier format to flip through than Overstreet, which has become swamped with ads. Not a complete listing, but for most collectors, this one will do quite well.
