Seems like you have a comment for everything, Jake. We are on a pre-war forum, and yet you use 1974 Topps cards as an example. Why don't you look at the waterfront properties you reference ad nauseum and compare actual prices vs. SMR. How about your Green Cobb 4s. $4000 SMR. Is that the market price right now? No. Blanket statement? Sure. But looking at many data points within the most popular pre-war sets, and I'm sure most would draw the same conclusion. I don't currently follow T202 cards, but perhaps that's an exception. I have no idea what 74 Topps commons sell for, and I probably never will. Sam Swartz
