1965's Argosy Comic Book Price Guide is the first known comic-book price guide. Issued by the Argosy Bookshop in Hollywood, California but insisting it is NOT a catalog, the Argosy Guide precedes the first Overstreet guide by five years. A piece of comics history, it represents a key moment in the establishment of a collector's market for vintage comic books. To give a few examples: Action Comics #1 is listed at $100.00 in mint condition, and Amazing Fantasy #15 (published three years prior) is listed at $5.00! Less than fifty copies of the Argosy Guide are known to exist. 8 1/2-in. x 5 1/2-in., B&W, 40 pages. Cover price $5.00.
