Default PSA's SMR price guide

Posted By: Brian H (misunderestimated)

The Registry is at its best (most accurate) with the larger 1948-1975 issues. With respect to Pre-War (WWII, that is) it seems to do OK on the high pop. 1930-1941 cards (Playballs, Goudeys and the like), although condition scarcity isn't generally part of the formula.
Just about everything prior to 1933 tends to be low in the SMR (sometimes very low).

If the population is very low or there are variables (the backs of T206s, e.g.) that the SMR doesn't expressly recognize then the SMR loses most of its predicative accuracy.

Because the SMR is at its weakest before 1933 -- which is nearly all of what's discussed on this site -- it gets bashed alot here.
