Jeff LichtmanMarc, I don't think that the card necessarily has to be rare to make it difficult to figure out a value. After all, a value is only determined by what the card sold for over the past year or so. The problem with not having recent sales at your fingertips is that you're stuck with SMR or other guides that are usually way off. With this service, you get real-time sales of cards going back several months and includes auction house sales as well. So, if I see a card that I believe is worth, say $600, a review on this site may give me 5 sales in which the top price paid was $499. Unless I really want the card, I probably won't bid more than $500 with that info.
