Some of the older Overstreet Price guides sell for multiples of their original price. Depending on condition of course.
Does anyone know if there is a listing for values of all the Overstreet Price Guides?

I have not seen one but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I have seen some older issues of Overstreet sell for over cover price so there is demand for them.

Not sure if any 1 site has a guide for the price guide, but mycomicshop has some (some on consignment too), and from a thread from 2013 on the CGC forums about this, the Overstreet Guide itself has a list in the back of values too. Not sure if they still do that, and of course if you have an older issue that has them, it's out of date for the current market. Maybe someone with a new one can tell you if they still do that. Otherwise it's just that auction site, and google searches to find them for sale. Mostly it's the first few that have much value, or used to be, and #1 of course is the highest. Hardcover versions are more sought after and more $ naturally, and in better condition than softcovers usually too.

Thank you All for you help. I see now, there is a section in the back of OPG listing values for earlier editions.

When I first read this post I thought it was something totally different. So glad you aren't using the always outdated Overstreet Price Guide for comic values. whew!

They have a price guide for older copies of the price guide in the price guide.

Lots of people still use the Overstreet as it uses a wide sourcing for their data. ANY price guide is just that, a guide. Not a bible and definitely not the final say on prices. Most of the pricing here would be a no go in my market region. At least with common issues. Yeah Overstreet has it's short comings but every guide does. It's built into the the word guide.

I agree that all guides are just guides.
If anyone uses Overstreet I always ask them if I can buy all of the hot issues that came out after publication or books that have risen in value since publication. They ALWAYS say no. I understand that people have a sense of nostalgia about Overstreet but in today's age you shouldn't use them. They are always behind because of their model. We've changed hundreds of prices in the last week or two. ALL of those are outdated in the printed Overstreet.

The book was a giveaway it will be in Overstreet's Promotional Giveaway section if they list it at all. However, Overstreet has not included every book ever printed. They used to list more but they made the decision years ago to give up that practice. For a printed guide it was the right decision.
