Overstreet #45 Starts with Exclusive Capt. Action
We started working on The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #45, the big 45th anniversary edition of the industry Bible for collectors and dealers, even before we finished work on #44.
The first bit of celebrating we did was to announce one of our covers for #45 in #44 (you can find it on Pages 70-71), the first time that the current Guide ever showcased one of the covers of the next Guide. That cover was Captain Action by the great Paul Gulacy, whose credits range from Master of Kung-Fu to Six From Sirius, and from Detectives, Inc. to G.I. Joe.
That cover is already on display at Geppi’s Entertainment Museum, and now it’s featured as the box art on the first Overstreet exclusive, limited edition action figure ever offered. Naturally, it’s Captain Action.
Advertisers who book and pay for their full page color ads at the Early Bird rates for The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #45 by December 2, 2014 will receive one of the limited edition Captain Action figures free of charge. This offer is restricted to one per company or individual and is only valid while supplies last.
“We were looking for a way to kick off the celebration of our 45th edition in a big way, and after picking Captain Action to be featured on one of our covers, this just seemed like a natural. We’d like to thank Ed Catto and Joe Ahearn of Captain Action Enterprises, Paul Gulacy, and our President, Steve Geppi, for making this extremely cool limited edition a reality,” said J.C. Vaughn, Vice-President of Publishing for Gemstone Publishing.
EARLY BIRD RATES
As in recent years, we offer a 10% Early Bird discount for those customers who pay by December 2, 2014. We also offer an additional 10% discount for three or more ads of the same size and type. All full page ads come with a free directory listing. Please note: Half-page, quarter-page and business card spots are not offered under the Early Bird rates.
Following the success of last year’s special offering, those who have accounts with Diamond Comic Distributors may choose to pay the Early Bird rates through their Diamond account. And of course we also offer these rates for those paying by check, money order, or credit card, as well.
The Early Bird rates end December 2, 2014 and Standard rates begin December 3.
STANDARD RATES
With our Standard Rates, Overstreet advertisers can bill their full-page, half-page, quarter-page, and business card ads to their Diamond Comic Distributors accounts (and Directory Listings, too – see separate form) or pay by check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card. The price for a full-page B&W ad ranges from $900 to $1,080, depending on placement, and a full-page color ad is $2,500. Discounts of 10% remain available for three or more ads of the same size and type. Half-page B&W ads run $600, quarter-page B&W ads are $400, and the business card spots are $125. As they do with the Early Bird rates, all full page, standard rate ads come with a free directory listing as well.
Standard Rates run December 3, 2014 through March 4, 2015.
PREMIUM POSITIONS
Almost all of the premium advertising positions in The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide are spoken for years in advance. However, changes do occur. If you are interested in a premium spot, please let us know.
DIRECTORY LISTINGS
Whether you have a traditional brick-and-mortar retail location, a mail-order business or run a website, simply fill out this form with all the pertinent information and send it back to us, via email, fax or regular mail. Please use the Genre Codes to indicate the types of products you offer by circling the appropriate letters. These letters are, in turn, listed in the directory with your business information for future customers to see.
Directory Listings range from $40 to $60, and they also come free with full page ads. The final day to submit a Directory Listing for this edition is March 13, 2015.
