What, no option for GPA?  Overstreet is best I think because even with the books that are priced too low the prices listed are a "starting point" for the multiples that the books achieve. Read any of the market reports, especially Sulipa's and he's constantly talking about multiples of guide. To have a multiple you have to have a starting point and Overstreet has always been that point, even back when the Chuck first started selling the Church collection

It's really hard to say one way or the other. A comic is only worth what someone else will pay for it. I love to use CPG because it helps me keep inventory of what I have and keeps me up to date with what my comics are worth, then and there. With Wizard or Buyer's Guide you have to wait for a month and not everything is in there. As for Overstreet, you have to wait a whole year, some times two for newer comics. I wouldn't say CPG is closer to actual value, but it is more up to date.

| This question is probably just another way of asking How do you determine a value? 
I was just spending some time online trying to come up with a value for Amazing Spider-man #363 of which I have several copies of at NM or better. CPG has it valued for a 9.6 at $17. Now, I did a search on Ebay for completed listings, and found that it is all over the place in prices. Ungraded copies are going from $2.00-6.00 after shipping. CGC Graded copies are also all over the place: A CGC 9.8 sold for $127.50/$9 shipping, while another CGC 9.6 for .99cents/13.00 shipping. In a set (#361-363) at CGC 9.8 each, got over $300 for all three. The thing is, how can you ever get an accurate price for any title? Before offering to sell a book, how do you determine a price to start it at? Ebay is a risk, as the .99 cent CPG one shows. I'm wondering if I should send my 60 copies of it off to be graded or not?

Exactly the sort of issue that all price guides have to contend with. Walking Dead No.1 is an interesting example. Last time CPG revalued this many raw NM copies were selling for more on ebay than CGC 9.6's
