SMR prices are clearly not always lower than actual market...check out T202s or almost any commons for most sets SMR is usually higher, 1974 topps cards I don't think any card goes for SMR...I can go on and on...yeah Cracker jacks go for more..but almost every Topps set is the opposite in terms of number of cards........that was really a blanket statement
