How do you determine what a fair price is when you're buying or selling?
I think the term "comps" has a bad reputation. If you walk around a card show and decide to buy a card from the dealer who offers the best price on that card, you've used "comps".
If you have bought 10 T206 commons all in a similar condition over the past month for between $70-80 and you decline to buy another similar T206 today for $120 because you feel it's too much, you're using "comps".
If what you bought a card for influences what you try to sell that card for, you're using a "comp".
