Book Value Vs. Market Value

I am fairly new to this forum.. but have already found it to be more than helpful in collecting vintage baseball cards!!!!!... I wanted to share another website that I found which has also proved to be helpful. I am not sure how many of you might already know of it but this will be for those who do not...the website is

https://www.vintagecardprices.com/upgrade.php

I had to pay to use it ($10/month).. but I can search for any vintage cards.. and have email alerts sent to me when those cards that I choose are posted up on an auction site online.(.. ebay.. cleansweep.. heratige..etc).. the second feature which is the reason why I agreed to pay the $10 fee.. is that once you search for a card you can see the most recent closed sales for the card under what ever grade you are looking for.. and from what ever company you are looking to have the card graded by...( psa sgc BVG).. then once you have the card you want, in the grade you want, from the company you want.. you can click that grade and see all the sales for that card at that grade in the last 2 years.. and in some instances they have images of the card so you can even see the condition for yourself!!..This is great to find out what the card is currently selling for and what a good deal would be vs. paying too high for a card.. so for example you can click on for example you can search for cobb.. select t206 common backs red portrait.. select psa 2 and then get the history for all online transaction at auctions sites for the last 2 years for psa2 t206 red cobbs.... and I now know what a cheap price would be for this card vs a high price.. curious if this is helpful to anyone else..
