And to add on to that, I personally think the half grades are a bit redundant. We have always paid more for the best looking examples within a grade level. I know I have and I think most collectors do.
I wouldn't put much stock in the SMR. I like PSA but that guide isn't close on many issues, VCP or CardTarget would be much more accurate, imo. And I am fully aware even those sales can be manipulated too...but they are still better than some made up guide price with little basis in the real world. I compared my T205 Cobb to the beautiful one last night in auction and I think it's a toss up on which I think is more aesthetically pleasing. But one is a 6 and one is a 7, so there is probably a 7k difference because of the flip...
