SMR prices for vintage baseball cards are almost uniformly lower than what can be fetched on eBay--in some cases by 70% or more. SMR has made some recent price adjustments for a few sets, such as T206, but even there it is well behind the curve especially at higher grades. I wouldn't characterize SMR as "self-serving" since it seems to me that would involve publishing exaggerated rather than understated prices for PSA-graded cards. I would characterize SMR more as "inaccurate" bordering on "clueless" when it comes to vintage pricing. That said, I enjoy reading some of the articles.
