Totally agreed, Marc - I threw the price guide out the day I started actively going after the set, rather than just the Pirates. I think it was the raw Donlin that went for almost $400 on eBay back in late '06 or '07. I had just joined the old board if I recall... I was blown out of the water on that one and started reading up on the set - the rest continues to be a learning experience.

It is a set where your experience is your best guide. While it can mislead you, its more likely to be right than any guide - all it takes is a little/enough time in under your belt. VCP helps, but at this point there's really not enough data to draw firm conclusions on the really tough cards.

My cents # 3 & 4.
