Does anyone ever buy these? I believe they are ad-less but am wondering if the font size is any bigger than what the normal book offers.

I'm sure you can guess my answer but I never buy an Overstreet Price Guide. Shocking right? Someone who works for Comics Price Guide never buys an Overstreet. I get why people do it but for me, it's outdated by the time it's printed.

Right Ron. I stopped buying printed guides a few years ago seeing just how easy it is to use COMICPRICEGUIDE.COM. I will say I do look at my old printed guide when figuring prices for Golden age and some Silver age books comparing theirs to this guide. Both give me a better understanding of what I might end up paying.
I do think that this guide is the best for finding modern variant prices since Overstreet may only listed around 1% of any type of variant books the past 30 years to now. Overstreet falls short in a BIG BIG way of how the way comics are being made, many many variants that collectors are buying up.

Not sure but the type is just 1/16” tall, not sure font size. For me the type is easier to read, paper is thicker than regular guide book and there is a little more room to write notes on pages. They are about 9” wide and 11” long in size. A heavy book compared to regular price guide, think like a little less than picking up a gallon of milk weight. I always bought the BIG BIG OVERSTREET PRICE GUIDE since it was easy to read, easier to mark comments on pages and once I bought the first one, I was hooked. If you are a type that has to buy a printed guide, the BIG BIG book would be my choice.
