The-Best-Little-Comic-Store/Grading-Guide
My first impression about writting a COMIC BOOK PRICE (GRADING) GUIDE you have to be kidding as in my own opinion there is only one COMIC BOOK PRICE (GRADING) GUIDE and that is the OVERSTREET PRICE GUIDE (The Comic Bible). Yes there is others out their, but have any been around as long as the OVERSTREET PRICE GUIDE I say no way. They even set the standard of GRADING COMIC BOOKS until the advent of THIRD PARTY GRADING (CGC, PGX, ACE, ETC.) And to my dissapointment they have pretty much left the GRADING up to much DEBATE. As these Third Party Grading Companies do not reveal their GRADING STANDARDS. So OVERSTREET has to be the STANDARD for beginners to learn from, and eventually will pick-up the ART OF GRADING.
As for the beginner COMIC BOOK COLLECTOR pick up the OVERSTREET PRICE GUIDE as this is the most important standard of PRICING COMIC BOOKS the newer versions pretty much don't cover GRADING as in years past but they also have a GRADING GUIDE BOOK as well, it use to be combined in one book but no longer.
My only advise would be is COMMON SENSE, get educated by reading and surfing the internet. And buy only what you enjoy and can afford. And Lets hope COMIC BOOK COLLECTING will continue to be a fun hobby. E-BIGS is a great tool to grade Comics also, just google E-BIGS.
