Bob, your questions were good ones. Someone onced asked if I made up the questions for my newsletter and I said "No, just the answers."

Here are my questions:

4) Why do the prices in SCD, Beckett and major price guides in general reflect 'retail' pricing and not the prices normal people get? I understand that ten years ago there were mostly retail stores, but today's selling and buying is mostly done at places like eBay? I'm not suggesting this retail pricing is wrong, I'm just wondering is the theory behind it.

5) What are the practicals for determining prices for a card? What kind of data is gathered, from what sources and how what calculations are performed? When does your opinion override or tempor the 'mathamatical' result?
