Default SMR pricing for raw commons.

I was at a card shop yesterday and picked out 59 and 60 commons. About 70 plus. Some were hi numbers. All exmt to nrmt and raw. He told me he goes by SMR. I was a little apprehensive when he said that, but went along with it. The total ended up being over $600!!! My jaw dropped. I topk about 15 put of the lot and it still was over $450. Is it fair for a dealer to charge SMR for raw cards? Nrmt 1960 commons start at $4 nrmt.

It is fair for a dealer to charge whatever he or she wants, as it is fair for a customer to pay it, pass, or make a counter offer.

$4 for truly NM 1960's is pretty spot on in my book. if you have a NM 1960 set it's going to sell for a decent premium over "book"

My uncle was also in the card business and his philosophy was always that if he went up to a dealer and there were no prices on anything he would keep walking. That was good advice.

If you walk into my shop and go into a box of 1960 cards - you will find a price on every card. Then you can make an informed decision. I price by Beckett and adjust for condition. I do not charge you the price of grading for an ungraded card.

No, way too high. That price builds in cost of grading which you should not be charged for

In my mind imagine if this group well scanned etc was to let rip in an auction, what would it sell for? $200 max? Your price should be some where in that neighborhood. If you buy in bulk you should get a wholesale price PERIOD

I'll take all the NM 1959 and 1960 high numbers you can get me at $4 apiece. Even bulk grading is $8 a card so I don't understand how $4 is a graded price.
