Overstreet Price Guide Launches Digital Subscription Overstreet Access

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide has been published every year since 1970, launched by Robert M. Overstreet as a guide for comic book collectors in the American market. Launched to cover the  Golden Age and Silver Age of comics, in the fifty-plus years since then, the Overstreet Price Guide has expanded to cover the entire history of American comics, bringing in British and Canadian markets. and going back to the Victorian or Platinum Age.

Overstreet sold the business to Gemstone Publishing in 1994, part of the Geppi Family Enterprises business. and the 52nd edition of the Overstreet Price Guide has gone to print today.

While the celebration of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide’s 50th anniversary was sidelined by the pandemic, the Guide kept on rolling and now at long last tackles the digital frontier with Overstreet Access. Celebrate the history and see what’s ahead with Geppi Family Enterprises Chief Creative Officer Josh Geppi, Gemstone Publishing Vice-President of Publishing J.C. Vaughn, and Overstreet’s Shawn Sippel.

Overstreet has resisted this move for some time, and has seen other rival companies take over this role in the digital marketplace, for both price guides and for the collating of people’s collections. But now daddy’s in town…
